Personal Development
Let’s start with what personal development is not. Thus, what it is will be better understood.
First of all, personal development is not “Success in 10 Steps” or “Happiness in 20 Steps”.
There are no clear-cut, scientific, and valid ways to success; just like there are not for happiness. Everyone has to follow their own path and be aware of their own strengths and weaknesses to achieve their own life success or happiness. There are no easy and practical ways to do this, reduced to 10 or 20 steps.
But this 10-step illusion is often created like this. Say someone is successful in an area. Of course, this success has many variables. Such as the family he grew up in, his education, environmental effects, temperament, character and conjuncture. All of these are important in success, but for some reason they are either not mentioned at all, or just so blindly mentioned, and success is disguised as another and more magnificent form. That supposedly successful person discovered and applied such miraculous things that success could not resist and came. Now, Hazrat (the holy person) is blessing and sharing these miracles with us: “Success in 10 Steps”.
WHAT IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT?
“Personal development is not trying to dictate the same formula of success or happiness to everyone without considering individual differences and trying to dress everyone in the same dress.”
“Self-improvement is not by taking shortcuts cunningly and getting plenty of property that remotely looks like success and getting soap bubble fame.”
So what is self-improvement then?
The most basic point of self-improvement is to know oneself.Yunus Emre summarized this as “wisdom means knowing science, science means knowing yourself”. Know yourself so you can feed it. Know yourself so you understand the secret of being satisfied with it. If you don’t know yourself, how will you realize yourself and use your potential? It is the following slogan that philosophy, which is the mother of all human sciences, was engraved on marble centuries ago; know yourself- nosce te ipsum! Therefore, our starting point should always be to look inside, not others. Because more ore is hidden there.

Personal development is all of the conscious and rational efforts we make every day to be more than the previous one. In this sense, a new exhibition, a new book or concert is a new hobby, a new perspective is personal development.
Personal development is being open to new experiences, ideas and challenges.
Personal development is knowing your own strengths and weaknesses.
Personal development is to ask the question of who am I and, moreover, who do I want to be, and to construct yourself according to the answers given to these questions. Personal development is carving yourself gently every day like a master sculptor carving a sculpture. It is destroying it’s idols/icons everyday to create them again.

In this sense, the pinnacle of personal development is self-contentment and self-approval that you have patiently and difficultly built up. Please don’t get it wrong here. Confirming does not mean freezing, staying the same. You also want to improve what you confirm.
It is the feeling that you are living a meaningful and fulfilled life, the taste this summit gives you. This summit is to carry the enthusiasm of a flower that has found its soil. It is a kind of subtlety and wisdom in action and discourse. Some also call it happiness.
So, my friends, we should go on the personal development journey not for “Success in 10 Steps” but to be satisfied with ourselves. Because the greatest achievement a person can achieve in this life is self-contentment.
