One thing I understand as a youth is that your dreams and aspirations may not be fulfilled immediately after your adolescent stage..And as a result, Depression, Rejection,Anxiety, Lack of support from family or friends might set in..
In developing yourself personally ,you should not look at your side only. Just begin with yourself .
As a youth,may I ask you this interesting question here and now,
What are you doing today to smile at your tommorrw? The highest option is invest now in your every department of life and seek to excel. Do you know why?? Because You will pass this way once. Yes of course ,the road to life is not ever smooth.
I've heard people talk about factors that helped or hindered their adolescent stage:some said the positive factors are supportive family and friends,making money,personal achievements, and educational success .
Developmentally, the young people are trying to meet personal and career-related needs,which are in a state of flux and uncertainty. It is apparent that lack of progress in one area could have a negative influence on the other.
Have you seen the need why you must do all things Withing your power to advance?
Some youths have narrow plan of action and with few or no alternatives. They are unwilling and afraid to face certain challenges in life. So a youth should seek for an improvement on his journey in life.
Like:
self-advocacy
self confidence
managing changing relationship
coping with knowledge
update yourself to be relevant in this age of information
HOW TO DEVELOP YOURSELF
Firstly is to map out a personal development action plan. This systematic part of your life and pattern.
Follow that which your heart imagined and weigh thoroughly in a balance of the word of God.
However,it may be rigid but it is your life compass. It guides your steps,to propel you into action.You will be happy to see how far the plan has helped you.
Write your vision so that he that runs will read it. Stand by it as you write them. Look into them for they will bring you to the land of progress and destiny . if you do not have one,you can begin today to write them and follow them.
Just ask your self how will my life look like in next ten years?? Take time to invest in yourself by developing all aspect of your being.
There are some stages in learning of skill for a youth who desires to succeed in life. A youth relies on these competencies for achievement and development.
This draws out a positive behavior out of him. The steps behind with awareness, learning and timely application which must be followed on. As a youth looks on these things,he shall be established.
When you study more in positive thinking factors,humor and other facts,though good but,they are not the actual thing. They are just ladder to rise to the main place . you should always think on those skills that are in step with your dreams and pursue them.
All you need most is patience in the actualization of your dream because the city Rome was not build in a day. Nothing good comes easy !
Each stage in life should be approached with resilience and vigour. The knowledge from one stage has been proven to be an invaluable prerequisite to the other. The fact that you are discovering them today does not make you a loser. Do not say, Had I known these before,my life should have been better than what it is today .No its never too late , you shall relate these skills to your personal development.
Development is a process. It does not occur suddenly. Because you have cultivated many possible habits,thinking and behaviors, this is void of struggles, at any given time, always seek for a door of opportunity and ways to improve your short comings.
The price to pay initially to be successful is the numerous falls,wounds and pains but afterwards, it becomes smooth sailing with practice .keep on improving until you reach a satisfactory level. You cannot quit at this time for your heart is longing for the best. Look at the picture and find a new you when you have made a better mark. Living at average is for your yesterday not today.keep on confessing it I'm a success and not a failure.
CHALLENGES DURING THE AGE OF AWARENESS
I would like to ask you this questions to every youth reading this:
What are you doing to improve yourself?
Do you know you will not be a youth forever ??
The world is too large,only waiting for your product. But how long shall you stay on that wilderness of nothingness.
You should be aware of your time now as a youth. All you need is to invest for your future.
The clock is ticking. >Time shall come when your work and efficiency will represent you. How're you seeking for an improvement? Many youths do not like their levels in life,yet they do nothing to go higher in their endeavor. None can climb above your head.God has given you an upward space to grow more. As a youth fill of ambition, one of the reasons why God gave you brain is for you to do som things yourself.Think to grow big. Help to create in your environment.
Anytime you invest in your personal development,you play the highest role for your life's happiness and circumstance. You become an agent of miracle, the doer,and the effector. Because you will soon leave.
This stage of life someday, always monitor what goes around you and react positively and meaningfully.
Affect all that comes around you for good. Every stage in life goes with a demand. Always prepare for the eventualities. You cannot be drowning in the sea of life challenges.
In every situation, you stand the chance to repair your leaky roof and live. It is time to move on towards your desire in life. Invest in your future. Life may not sail all pleasant as planned.
You have a big role to play. When you move I the midst of uncertainties and perplexity, you must desire to make your life work. Plan your work and work out your plan.Organize your life and carry it orderly. Set goals and let them speak for you on regular basis and to bring out the best in you.
PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT
Lastly, i will say that Our life needs some empowerment to stand. No one can do it for you but yourself. As you follow your dream,you need some strength and might to be what you wanna be. Your personal empowerment is an ability of sending your inner spirit to work,a point of switching your perspective and choosing to refuse a defeat and believing that you are not powerless.
In achieving an empowering belief system, you need certain vital ingredient to accompany you to success like:
Overcome your limitations
Stand on your true potential and capability
Having done all,Take action.
Keep steeming👍💯
