A personal development plan is a road map of your self growth journey. It is basically a goal setting exercise, but specific for the area of personal development. It is planning for your dreams in regards to personal development.

“Without good direction, people lose their way;
the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.”


The bible says that if people don’t have a vision they will perish. What is your vision? What is your personal development plan? Who would you like to become?

Don’t Make A Small Personal Development Plan!

I hope you have a dream or a vision in your heart for something greater than what you have now. God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. If we are not thinking, hoping or asking for anything, we are cheating ourselves. We need to think big thoughts, hope for big things and ask for big things.


I know the economy looks bleak however with God nothing is impossible.


However, it is only an unwise person who only thinks, dreams and asks big but fails to realize that an enterprise is build by wise planning.


When I first started with my home based business the first thing my partner asked me to do was to focus on my goals, my why for doing the business. I remember thinking what does this have to do with business? What I later discovered is that it has everything to do with business. If you don’t know why your doing something, when the day comes when life gets tough, you will quit if your why isn’t big enough.


My why is being able to work from home and not have to work outside of the home? I have had horrific experiences in my jobs of being mistreated. It never seemed to matter how well I did my job which was part of the problem. I did my job so well that jealousy began to uproot its ugly head from either my employer or an employee.


Creating a personal development plan and dreams for the future are possibilities, but not what I call “positivelies.” In other words, they are possible, but they will not positively occur unless we do our part.


All of us have potential and many of us want a manifestation of it, but too often we are not willing to wait, be determined and work hard at developing that potential. We have a lot of “wish bone,” but not much “back bone.”


Far too many people take the “quick fix” method for everything. They only want what makes them feel good right now. They are not willing to invest for the future.

“Don’t just enter the race for the fun of being in it – run to win!”


There is a gold mine hidden in every life, but we have to dig to get to it. We must be willing to dig deep and go beyond how we feel or what is convenient. If we dig down deep into the spirit, we will find strength we never knew we had.

However, if you’re like most people, you have grown up with the “weakness prevention” model. You’ve been told that to become strong, successful, or truly serve God and the world, you must “fix” your weaknesses.


That thinking is just plain wrong.


In Gallup’s research into human potential over the past 30 years – including interviews with more than 2 million people – the evidence is overwhelming: You will be most successful in whatever you do by building your life around your greatest natural abilities rather that your weaknesses. Your talents should be your primary focus! The problem is that most people don’t even know what their greatest talents are or how to go about discovering them.


When I discovered my talents I felt exhilarated. It gave me hope because now I could build on the strengths that I had been blessed with rather than try to fix my weaknesses that never seemed to get better no matter how hard I tried.


What I discovered is that I had been given a unique combination of talents and when I discovered my talents, I began to discover my calling, my purpose in life.


Like everyone, you have been blessed with a deep reservoir of untapped potential. That potential is your talent, waiting to be discovered and put to use in your life. It’s time for you to unleash the power of that potential and begin to discover your unique talents.
