Scope Out to View Your
Own Personal Growth
Personal development is a natural process throughout life.
Sometimes it happens so slowly over time that you are not aware of how you are
changing, yet your life is improving.
Sometimes this is not obvious until you take the time to look
back over your life and make valid comparisons to former periods of struggle,
in different aspects of your life. This is a natural human trait – it is
well-documented that almost everyone over-estimates what they will achieve in a
year, yet under-estimate what they will achieve in ten years.
This tendency to focus on the short-term means we often fail
to appreciate the small, steady wins that accumulate over time. Every time a
person makes a positive improvement in their lives, it also affects other
aspects of their being, so the gains are multiplied and ongoing (like compound
interest!). This aggregation is our personal development.
