Personal development is not just about improving your life by helping you to be, do, and have more what you want. It improves your life by helping you MANAGE better all negative experiences too. I was there myself, and if I did not have the tools and knowledge to deal with it, I would be miserable, I guess!
My dear, undoubtedly there will be tough times in your life, and when these times occur, you need to have the skills and traits to deal adequately with them. Of course, personal development can’t prevent bad things from happening in your life, but it will help you deal with them when they do. You will build resilience, confidence, personal and interpersonal skills to cope with these circumstances. And this is a life-changing approach! Sometimes we try to fix things on our own without knowledge, and awareness of what we can do better but if we only invest our resources in building ourselves stronger, the quality of life elevates!
What is also necessary to understand is that personal development can’t make all your life experiences positive. Period. As it is rather apparent that there will always be times when bad things happen. Many times it’s beyond your control, other times you will mess up something yourself, and that’s normal! Don’t beat yourself up!
When you understand personal development, you learn that you can change your attitude towards the experience which makes it less unpleasant (your life is only 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it!). So, my dear, knowing all that allows you to stay composed and in control when a crisis hits. You can then determine the best possible course of action to take. Yes!!! This will enable you to minimise the damage caused by this particular negative experience.
