For me, life is about continually work on and improving myself; I get into a stale, depressed state when I’m not learning new things or working towards a goal!

It’s no surprise then, that I’m a huge fan of personal development. To gain new skills and to even just be a generally well rounded person, it’s so important to invest time in yourself.

This doesn’t mean you should waste time learning about things you don’t care about at all, however find some subjects you’re passionate about and grow from there!

The only person you are destined to become, is the person you decide to be

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one

Growth is the great separator between those who succeed and those who do not. When I see a person beginning to seperate themselves from the pack, it’s almost always due to personal growth
