Propensity to Self is Road to Personality Development of Voice and Mind

As man is a social animal, therefore, he needs people to converse in order to live a happy and contented life. But, sometimes the feelings of hatred, jealousy and nervousness arises due to which differences arises amongst the people. That is why, psychologists emphasizes the need of self-development.

Self-development is a term that describes the growth of one’s personality and perception of an individual towards people and society. Self-identity is one of the main ingredients to develop one’s own self. It is the mental knowledge that an individual holds for his or her existence in the society. Self-concept includes various aspects, such as the social, physical and psychological attributes.

Often people experience failures and successes while living in the society. But there are few individuals who are not able to accept the failures and hence, it restrains the healthy growth of body and mind. Therefore, one needs to develop the practice of self-identification that teaches the individual to cope up with the different emotions encountered in life. This habit of self-identity comes when we practice it with the passing of time. The individual learns to behave in different situations. We learn how to deal with various people also. Moreover, self-identity contributes a lot in shaping the personality of an individual. This results in the development of the mind, soul and self.

Self-awareness is also an important ingredient that helps in the overall development of the self. It arises when we have a self-identity. It plays a vital role in changing the behavior and nature of a person. By having self-awareness, one can know about one’s weaknesses and strengths and accordingly mould in the direction, which will lead to the development of the self. Also, by having a positive outlook towards life and people around us, we can become more aware about the world and surroundings. Moreover, today’s world is full of selfish and self-centered people, because of which there are more negative feelings in the mindsets which harm’s one’s own self as well as those around us. So, the first step to attain self-development is to shed off the negative emotions that destroy relationships.

Social taboos also make the people irritated and develop feelings of hatred towards each other. We tend to get irritated on the remarks or comments made by our brethren. Therefore, one must save one’s self from becoming servant to these ill feelings. Talking to one’s inner self discards all the negativity in the minds of people. By asking all sorts of questions to ones' self, we will be surely able to find solutions too that will contribute tremendously in the growth of one’s personality.

Another important aspect of self-awareness is to know oneself completely. If you are aware of your virtues and vices, and are working on declining the vices, you are surely on the right track. Such an individual will be an example for others in the society to follow.

Also, man is given the liberty of free will. It is he who has been given a will to choose the right or wrong path. The common individual will move towards the wrong path but the individual who hears his inner voice can never take a wrong path. Meditation is another solution that helps an individual to have an insight into one’s own self. By listening to the inner self, one comes to know about himself and make wise decisions.

Last but not the least; Self-development can find all the possible solutions for the problems we face in this complex world. Identifying with oneself, meditating and adopting holistic way of living can trigger a person’s pursuit to success. To attain development of self, voice and mind, one needs to get in touch with himself and harmonize all his actions in accordance with the universe.
