Changes in Interpersonal and Personal Development
Let's just face it! For the biggest part of society, change is a threat to the human being.
The familiar can bring on a terrible feeling of panic. Control seems to have it's way in survival
Unfortunately, each human being will have to face circumstances over which one has no control. Some of these things may be: accidents; death; broken relationships; physical illness; war; the choice of another partner; even higher gas prices. All of the above are things make take you by surprise. This is just a reminder of how little human are in control.
Those people that feel as if they have no control over what happens to them or their lives develop a very negative attitude toward one's life. This has been known to shorten one's life by suppressing the immune system.
Women believe that when they develop full control of their lives they will be happier and healthier and that no one can take advantage of them. This is unfortunately not the truth. When one gives up their control that is only when one will receive their greatest blessing.
When one is confronted with a problem, they may struggle for months or years; then one finally releases the problem and learns to accept that if it is God's will, one will recover from the problem or solve it. Very seldom do humans get the answer they are looking for. Maybe there is something better in store for you.
Hopefully by this time you have discovered the how to and whys in your own life. The first step to take is being able to recognize the beginning of freedom. Understanding will never be enough in your lifetime. You must then be willing to turn away from the control and bondage in your life and in the lives of others. No one should ever attempt to take control of another's life. Eventually control will eat away at your own health, emotionally; physically; and spiritually.
It has been found to be very hard to be relaxed and calm, when one is trying to control all the details, whether they are small or large in one's life. Men find it hard to love their wives who are always uptight and domineering. This is also true in a woman loving her husband, which is unresponsive and distant. It can be very damaging for women, married or not to enjoy and live a joyful, fulfilled life when you are experiencing the weight of other relationships and situations on your shoulders.
Women are believed to be in control, whether they are at home or work. Often women have been known to have a despising spirit toward men. Having a leadership role just adds stress to one's life. Stress has been known to affect the internal being. When you suffer from external and internal stresses of life, that will surely tip your scale and through you off balance.
As women become more visible in positions traditionally held by men, men are becoming more and more passive. This is a problem blamed on male passive behavior and overbearing women on the pressure of modern life. This should by now be considered an ice age problem.
Women often have possessive skills and natural talent that seems to make it hard for one to submit to someone else in those particular areas. Sometime things happen to women leaders that make it hard to submit to men. At this point it makes no difference whether you are a son; husband; elder or pastor. Women are simply used to calling the shots. Many questions have occurred over situations like this: Why should one have to listen to him? Don't he understand, who makes the money in this home? Often interpersonal and personal development can better help individuals understand one better.

Three Factors for Financial Success
Written by Brian Tracy What do wealthy people do or have that enables them to accomplish so much more than the average? I believe that these people are successful as a result of what I call leverage. Leverage is the key to maximizing and multiplying your potential for success and financial achievement. Here are three examples of leverage that you can develop to achieve financial independence: Become an Expert Develop Your Skills Save Your Money Action Exercises First, resolve today to become an expert in your chosen field. Set it as a goal, make a plan and work every day to become a little bit better in the most important things you do. Second, develop the habit of saving money out of every single paycheck. It was once said that, “If you cannot save money, the seeds of greatness are not in you.” The very act of regular saving changes your character and gets you ready to achieve financial independence.

First, become an expert in your chosen field. Read all the books, take all the courses, listen to all the audio programs. Second, specialize in those areas that are of greatest importance and greatest value to your company or to your customers. And the third key is know your product or service inside out. Aim to be recognized as the industry expert in your field. Remember the person who has the expertise has a far greater contribution to make than the person whose knowledge is just average.
The second type of leverage is skill. The better you are at your job, the more you will be paid. The top 20 percent of salespeople earn as much as ten and fifteen times the average earnings of the bottom 80 percent. There are three keys to developing the leverage of skill. First, make a decision to be the best. Pay any price. Make any sacrifice. Go any distance to become excellent at what you do. Second, engage in continuous improvement. Never allow yourself to become satisfied or complacent at your current level of skill. And third, always strive to exceed the expectations of your customers, your boss, of the people you serve. Always do more and better than you’re paid for.
The third type of leverage is money. Money is a powerful source of leverage and usually follows the development of knowledge and skill in your field. One of the reasons that it takes money to make money is that the accumulation of funds is an essential step in the development of the personal qualities and character that must precede the achievement of financial independence. In other words, you become the person capable of becoming financially independent by accumulating the funds that are necessary for you to achieve it.
Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas on personal leverage into action:
Your Habits will determine your future
Definition: A habit is something you do so often that it becomes easy; it is a behaviour we
- Successful people have successful habits, unsuccessful people don’t
- Your habits determine the quality of life
- The results of your bad habits don’t show up till much later in life.
- You can turn negative consequences into positive rewards simply by
- changing your habits now.
- Developing successful habits takes time – usually 21 days to a month
- Changing four habits in a year – five years from now you will have 20 positive new
- habits.
- Up to 90% of our normal behaviour is based on habits.
- Quality is not an act. It’s a habit
- Once a new habit is well developed, it becomes your new normal behaviour.
