Composing A Personal Development Plan

HI I’m Luis Garcia and I have a few questions for you. Do you know where you’re going in your own life? Where do you see yourself in the next 5 to 10 years? If you don’t understand where you want to be in your own life, making decision to have the life you want will be hard to make, even more without a well thought out plan. I’m sure you have expectations, dreams, and desires you’re chasing after. However, do you feel that you’re not certain of the best way to fulfill your dreams, or which way to go? If so, possibly a personal development plan or a plan of action can help you figure that out. In this video I will talk about building a personal development plan and action steps that can help you move forward in life with ease. So, stay tuned.

Composing A Personal Development Plan

Ok, so, to start this conversation I would like to start by saying composing a personal development plan is truly one of the best things you can do for yourself as it help you to see were you are going in life and to also help you see what needs to be done on a daily basis in order for you to get where you want to get in life. So have you ever thought, how do I compose a plan to move towards the accomplishment of my goals? What goes on this personal development plan? How do you target a plan that is right for you? How do I set time to accomplish these plans? And, what are the benefits of composing a personal development plan? These are very important question to answer for yourself in order to put things into perspective.

So to address the first question which is what goes on and what do I target in my personal development plan? One thing to remember - is that when composing a personal development plan - your own personal development plan is definitely in regards to you and what you want to complete. When creating your personal development plan, just start by writing down the things you want out of life. Then write down the way you intend to reach your destination. So to create an example, let’s say you want to be a film director, write it down. Then the next step is to identify the resources that can help you develop the skill-sets needed to be a film director, write that down too.

Now this varies for each person because it all depends on a few things. Just to share a few ideas…

• It depends on what you’re calling or mission is in your life.
• It depends on what inherent creative abilities you have.
• It depends on what are your interests in life.
• It depends on what new creative skill-sets you need to develop.
• And it also depends on what new skills sets you have to learn along the way.

What you want to do in your life is determines by all these factors and this will be different for each person. But to create an example so that you can follow along, let’s say you are born with a set of creative abilities that you discover early on in your life. Those inherent creative abilities will already define what to put when composing a personal development plan because your inherent creative abilities will inherently generate the impulse for you to always express, perform, and further develop those specific creative abilities. So let’s say you were always very well in tune with your feelings and it was always easy for you to project and affect the environment with your feelings. Because of this, you will always inherently feel the need to expand those particular creative abilities and therefore you will find yourself, let’s say, leaning more towards the creative arts. In this example, we can say like an actor because it’s in alignment to the creative ability itself which is the ability to project and affect the environment with your feelings in the form of storytelling.

So taking acting classes or a speech class would be what you would target when composing a personal development plan to progress further in this particular ability. So in other words, at this point, you have to look at what is required for you to acquire in order for you to accomplish what is needed so that you can fulfill your life’s purpose. Once you put what needs to be acquired into perspective, this is you understanding what to already put in your personal development plan. Now the skill-sets that are not inherent are skill-sets that you would have to learn from scratch so to speak. when you are learning something totally new, you have to understand that these skill-sets will not come easy for you at first. Unlike your inherent creative abilities which does come easy for you.

Another outlook in this process is that, as you begin to engage within your creative exploration, you might surprise yourself because you might discover new inherent creative abilities - and one of the sign to know that it is inherent is that such creative skill-sets come very easy for you. This is a major clue for you to know that what comes easy for you, is really an unknown inherent suppressed creative ability. These moments are wonderful surprises in life and you’re learning curve is less because it comes naturally to you, unlike when you learn a new creative skill-set from scratch which seems hard to learn at times.

So in answering the first question which is “what goes on and what do I target when composing a personal development plan?” The answer is, regardless of what could be your inherent creative abilities, or lack of creative abilities, as you live your life to fulfill your life purpose and improve yourself as a person, you will always have to invest your time to improve your creative skill-sets whether inherent or not and composing a personal development plan can help you with that. By constantly practicing, exercising, and performing such creative skill-sets you get better at them and you become equipped to succeed. Once you accept the idea to put in the work which is to really invest your time to further develop your creative abilities and skill-sets, you are on your way to living a joyful life because acceptance, by default, generates a sense of joy in the process.

So to follow the example, again, let’s say you were always well in tuned with your feelings and it came easy for you to project and affect the environment with your feelings. Because of this you will always feel the need to expand this particular creative ability. So you are drawn to the creative arts and you have taken acting classes because it’s in alignment to your creative ability, and the learning curve is not much because you are a natural at invoking and projecting feelings which is what acting is all about. This is you operating from the inner you to the outer world. It’s like you don’t have to work hard at the creative ability when it naturally comes from the inner you, hence, it’s inherent.

However, performing in front of a live studio audience is scary and not so easy for you. In this case, now we have identified a new skill-set that is not inherent and that has to be learned from scratch. So, now when composing a personal development plan you add that you have to learn and develop a new skill-set from scratch which is to learn how to bond, feel safe, and lead the audience so that you can be a well-rounded and improved performer.

Learning a new skill-set that is not inherent, this is you operating from the outer world to develop the inner you and to add more creative abilities to the inner you. It’s important to distinguish the two as it helps to hone in on your weaknesses which give you a better understand on how to approach your personal development and your personal development plan.

So the things you target when composing a personal development plan are the resources that are in alignment to your inherent creative abilities and capitalized on them and the resources that will help you develop new and improved creative abilities from scratch so that you can improve such creative skill-sets in order for you to express yourself at peak performance and ultimately to be equipped to fulfill your life purpose, and live a satisfying life.

So in saying that, make a list of all the things you are creatively good at and have interested in and begin to map this out for yourself. In terms of time, at this point now that you discovered what resources are needed, at least spend an hour a day if not more on practicing, exercising, and performing such skill-sets. If you take classes a few times a week, great, but remember to practice even when you are not in class. Your time management matters in order to complete your daily accomplishments and this is important.

Benefits To Composing A Personal Development Plan

Now the second question is - what are the benefits to composing a personal development plan? Having a plan of action for accomplishing your personal development goals can make almost everything seem less intimidating. Writing down your intention allows you to become more centered and remain focus on your personal accomplishments because it helps condenses your own concentration to the very thing you want in your life. Having a plan of action or a framework will also develop a mindset that is geared to move towards success on any occasion and under any circumstances. After a while your mind gets trained to know how to flow in a way where you steer situation into successful outcomes, this is a big benefit.

Another benefit when composing a personal development plan is that you remain focus on your short-term goals. You don't want to overwhelm yourself when you are developing yourself by trying to accomplish out of reach goals, if you start to feel overwhelmed, you will most likely give up. On the other hand, if you are cautious and permit yourself time and energy to carry out reasonable personal development goals, you'll have a greater chance of succeeding and you will feel great about yourself which help to build self-esteem. Come up with short term and long term goals and remain practical in your time frame in meeting the completion of those goals.

Another benefit about composing a personal development plan is that when you complete short term and reasonable goals on a daily basis, you begin to realize that all your hopes and dreams, are actually attainable. Once you feel that your hopes and dreams are attainable, this itself will generate energy in the form of passion and excitement to keep moving forward. From this passion, waking up to face the day and engaging on a daily basis to move forward becomes enjoyable and you will find pleasure in what you do. This is why setting short-term goals is so important as it acts like a daily confirmation to your success as you get closer.

Composing short-term goals is not just about being realistic about what you can accomplish in a day, but it is also about psychologically developing the motivation in the form of passion and joy as you see yourself getting closer to your dreams, because psychologically, when you see yourself getting closer to what you want, by default you will get excited about it. Getting closer to what you want and feeling excited about it goes hand in hand in the human psyche. As this takes place your brain also releases dopamine which is like the reward chemical in the body that makes you feel euphoric, safe, and alive. Having a daily plan of action in your personal development plan can support these kinds of outcomes and it helps to keep your mind straight, focused, and relaxed.

Another benefit when composing a personal development plan is so that you can handle unexpected surprises. So, versatility is another thing your personal development plan must have. When you unfold your personal development goals, you need to accept the fact that things will likely not go precisely according to your own personal plans. Part of your plan to improve who you are is to plan to discover ways to adapt and grow spontaneously, and this is important to do as you continue within your personal development goals.

Versatility and flexibility is about answering and adjusting to the unpredictable challenges that can come along the way, and when you respond correctly to the unexpected challenges, you are more calm, centered, and resourceful when responding to the unexpected challenge which leads to a higher success rate.

When composing a personal development plan of action it can help with vision & clarity: A personal development plan can help you understand what you are attempting to achieve as well as offering you a specific vision along the path that you consciously plan to unfold. If you don’t have a clear vision, you will not be able to see where you are going – you will not know what to do – you will not know what you need to do - and you will not know who can help you and how.

When composing a personal development plan it can also help with determining your reason why: Sometimes you may get distracted; this really is you steering out of your plan. Utilizing a personal development plan reminds you to stay on track as the personal development plan reminds you why it is so important for you to fulfill your life's accomplishment. It reminds you of the importance to perform precisely what you have to do to carrying out on a daily basis so that you can arrive to where you want to be in your life, and knowing the reason why you want to get there. In other words, it helps you keep your eyes on the ball.

This reminder acts as your promises and reminder to yourself: When you don’t have a personal development plan of action, you might wind up disbursing your efforts in many different directions attempting to accomplish many different task as a means to look like you’re obtaining and achieving many different things, however, rapidly it becomes clear that the many tasks you are attempting to accomplish did not do you any good, this leaves you frustrated, scattered, and unfocused. The personal development plan reminds you to ultimately remain on your own course and move towards consistent and relevant goals that you need to accomplish on a daily basis that will bring you to the overall completion of your goal.

The other thing you have to put when composing a personal development plan is to plan on having proper teamwork skills and learn how to cultivate healthy and fun-loving relationships. As you unfold your personal development goals, you will be surrounded by like-minded people who are unfolding their process. There is no way for you to do everything yourself by yourself. So, you have to know how to relate to others and share a mutual process. So in this category, add to your personal development plan that you have to learn a level of psychology and social skills because when you understand people, you are in a position to cultivate healthy relationships and the know how to motivate others to move toward a common goal to get successful results.

These social activities are important as it opens up the opportunities to surround yourself with like-minded people. People who can help you with your personal development plan and progress. It’s also a great place to practice your social skill-set. So go to certain events such as seminars and conferences where you can meet up with individuals who gather with the same inquiries as you do.

The other great thing about this engagement is that you can start building friendships that will be meaningful to you and that lead to great fulfilling experiences. Make sure you read and study. Take classes, read books, and get educational materials that will help you. Make sure you choose the training and provide yourself the support required for your process. Such information can also be found inside relevant courses, publication, and any educational material that's specifically is customized to the style of your queries.
