Does the era of personal development correspond to the need for meaning and self-discovery, or has it become a drift of individualism, a taste for narcissism?
Frustrated by a life that is too "small", alienating and not up to our self-image, we sometimes set out on a path of personal development to finally advance towards the life that we deserve...
From Self Quest to Self Worship
Basically, personal development is supposed to be a quest for oneself, an understanding of one's role and functioning within an environment and cosmos. Make better choices, calm down, dance with the elements...
Any question about how it works and a little introspection is personal development: how I act, why I react this way, is it beneficial to me, how to change that.
Like any good or pleasant thing, humans tend to abuse it and divert it. Sometimes today, as I myself navigate very closely in these spheres, I find that we are at the "all unlimited", at self-worship.
Everything is allowed to express my full potential
Many people are those who, under the pretext of discovering their full potential and exploiting it (in a final objective of money or power - if the term fulfillment is mentioned, it must be recognized that this fulfilment is measurable in the possession of many people), become egocentric and more or less abandon everything that can be a hindrance to their full fulfillment (of things, situations or other people).
"No one else but us can teach us to be ourselves"
Personal development does not escape from the ambient narcissism, between the frustration of everyday life (often quite normal) and the enormous dreams that we are asked to have, that we have given ourselves, against a backdrop of happiness with some glitter.
You too can be Deepak Chopra, don't let anyone tell you otherwise (and if he does, take him out of your life)
Personal development, poorly used and as it tends to assail us today, instead of destitution and contact with one's deep self, only adds enormous layers and layers of ego to the great strength of successful coaches, motivation speach and all those things that make us feel guilty about watching Netflix while others create passive income by selling training to earn a living.
One passes from the authentic knowledge of the self to the accumulation of tools and knowledge, to go further, higher than one's neighbour, to be stronger than one's friends and, roughly speaking, to differentiate oneself from the mass that one finds enslaved by rising, in a delirium of self-heating in the distorting mirror of the values given by society. Since we measure our success by how she claps in the eyes of others.
We inflate our consciousness with pride. From the healthy self-consciousness, we take the step towards an over-consciousness of the little Ego - the No Limit. Lovely by the way the ego to be able to be and have everything he wants. Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey are the new idols - far from twilight.
"By refusing the uniformity of our cloned existence, we dream of leading an artist's life."
Unlimited happiness is possible: thanks to these 10 key success factors to be put in place at 5:00 a. m.
We manage ourselves as a company without any objections. Because we want to be a successful company rather than a failed one. Start-up nation applied to your human life.
We are talking about theories that we have never really experienced. We replace one formatting with another, while it is based on the same compost, that of consumption, the unlimited, the "happiness" that we used to find in a new car must nowadays be in a book.
Everything is an image, we cultivate a grandiose image of ourselves and do everything we can to ensure that this image is real, at the risk of falling to a low point when we truly seek meaning, when we lose everything, when this grandiose life does not bring peace. Pleasure, moments of happiness, certainly. But not peace.
When we seek happiness, we may be tempted to remain in the current values of society: happiness is outside, in what we have, in what we do. Personal development is then called upon to change jobs, change couples, become successful, attract success, attract money... Being an inspirational person, who lives an inspiring life and inspires others. I can't stand the word "Inspiration" anymore. Let's stop comparing ourselves, period.
Personal development is much needed thing, inspirational post. Thanks
