Personal Development 101
Introduction
by Tania WL
Personal development is a tool you can use to make your life magical. My little sister Sharleen and I enjoy our lives to the fullest. But it wasn't always that way for me. I was a "problem child" growing up. I was rebellious (still am today, but in a different way, lol) and was frequently in a nasty mood. I hated a lot of things and often gave my parents and siblings grief.
Long story short, I went through counseling. The counselor was a very kind and patient lady who had gone through a lot herself. She taught me personal development principles which helped me a lot. I was able to see plenty of wonderful things that life has to offer, and my attitude towards life gradually changed. Now I always look for and focus on the positive, and have an attitude of gratitude. I also went on school retreats which helped reinforce what I learned from the counseling.
Sharleen is completely different. She never needed any counseling. She has a cheerful disposition, and already had a positive outlook on life even when she was little. She believes life is magical and sees magic in every little thing. I always got along well with her even during my difficult years. She was always sweet and kind, and often told me everything was going to be OK. I actually admired her, and we became best friends.
Sharleen and I have taken a number of personal development courses and read books. One of our favorite authors is Rhonda Byrne who created the popular film The Secret and wrote a book of the same title. Our favorite book is The Power which really teaches you how to make your life magical. We have read it more than once as we learn new things every time we read it. We highly recommend it.
We both have also developed the ability to create magic in our lives on purpose by using the power of visualization and affirmation among others. Our family have nicknamed us the magic girls. The difference is, my little sister is a natural born while I'm a late bloomer :) There is nothing supernatural about this, though. You can learn how to do it too by training your thoughts and expectations, and focusing on what you want.
So in this blog we will share with you articles on personal development and other related stuff which can help enrich your life and make it magical. Some of you may have known us from the barefoot blog where we share our interesting experiences going barefoot occasionally sprinkled with magic :) Just like over there, Sharleen and I will both write the articles here.
So, stay tuned for an exciting and magical journey!
