Self-development is about investing time in ourselves so that we can make better decisions concerning our life. It’s a proactive state of being. You become the creator in your life and you work towards achieving your passions. If you are not self-aware how do you know what truly makes you authentically happy?

Self-reflection is a skill that can be acquired. Knowing your personal beliefs allows you to decide which ones are working for you (positive beliefs) and which aren’t (negative beliefs). It allows you to have a better focus from quantity to quality. You will feel more motivated since you are asserting from a space that makes you feel good. True fulfillment comes from accomplishing your dreams since your life is your own personal journey.
