Remember, in our journey toward personal development we must consider our lives as our product under development.
Principle 1.) Need – At least one personal on this planet needs the special “talent” or “gift” that has been given to you by God’s Holy Spirit. Your talent, skills, special gift is the solution to someone’s problem. Never feel “not needed”! You are the solution to someone’s need.
Principle 2.) Desire – This is different from ‘need’. There is some one (at least one) who has a passionate desire for what you have to offer. Never feel that you have ‘Nothing’ that anyone would want. That just isn’t true.
Principle 3.) Uniqueness – You have something different about you, a quality that sets you apart from the rest.This difference defines your worth. It is you goal to identify it, develop it, magnify it and advertise it. You will attract those who either need it or desire it.
Principle 4.) Focus – Focus on your qualities, on that which you have to offer. The greatest deterrent to success is the lack of focus or undefined focus.
Principle 5.) Order or Sequence – The accurate placement of things or ideas. Prioritize – Create a personal “flow chart” to prioritize those parts of your character that need to be ordered. Emphasize your best qualities first.
Principle 6.) Change – The ability to change, make changes and accept changes. The ability to accept those things in your life that you cannot change but changing you thoughts about them.
Principle 7.) Reward – The Bible speaks often of reward. The reward for righteousness is eternal life. In our personal development we need to understand “reward”, learn to accept “rewards” and give “rewards”. One of the most important factors of spiritual growth is our ability to accept the fact that we can accept reward. It is not wrong to acknowledge rewards in our life.
