Personality development secrets unleashed. Exploring the InnerNet – 5

Personality Development

The inner-net and personality development

We surf the internet for several hours a day. When do we surf our inner-net?

We frequently and passionately upgrade all our possessions be it clothes, shoes or gadgets. For convenience’s sake, we will not talk about mobiles.

All this is fine, but when did we last upgrade our brain?

We meet several people during the day, whether we need to or not.

When did we last meet that most important person? You know that the person in the mirror is the most important person. The more familiar you are with them, the more they will support you. The more support this person offers, the more robust and sturdier you will turn out to be. You need a lot of help from this person.

We gift several things to various people. We also receive many gifts in return. 

Ask yourself: When did you gift yourself something lasting and exciting? No, we are not talking about mobile and gadgets.

How are you spending your act time balance?

What do you do before breakfast? 

Can you name a few self-made men or women?

  • Steve Jobs?
  • Abraham Lincoln?
  • Nightingale?

None. We must appreciate that there is no concept of a self-made man or woman. Behind every successful person, there is a large team for sure. How do they create such vibrant teams? Is it through position and power? No. All of them are natural leaders.

If you understand yourself well, you can manage yourself well. Better management of yourself unravels a more energetic personality. People with firm and strong personalities can manage the external world better.

What are your strengths? How do you maximise and leverage those?

What are your shortcomings, weaknesses, and fears? How do you overcome those?

Strong personality development , starts with hard questions about the self awareness.

Do we need to always worry about our fears and weaknesses only? The answer is a straight no. 

We should minimise them. We should conquer our fears and bridge skill gaps but we should always highlight our positives and play to our strengths. 

Look at any straight line. How do we make a straight-line shorter and thinner without touching it?

We learn this in primary school. By drawing another longer line next to it. Strengths and weaknesses work on a similar principle. The best way to minimise your weaknesses is by maximising your strengths. 

But first you need to understand what your strengths and weaknesses are. Accept that we have flaws and apply the 4T principle (Terminate-Transfer-Treat-Tolerate) to reduce the risks.  

Next, we need to identify the strengths and work on them further to maximise them. 

If everyone can play against the strengths of others, there will be very healthy competition instead of dangerous conflicts. Everyone will be highly motivated and deliver results with high self-esteem.  

There will be no blame games, politics or regrets. Knowing more about yourself will help you achieve more. 

Ok, but how do we identify our strengths?
