What is personal development? It's a broad category, but it has to do with the way we conduct our lives. Everyone strives for more happiness, but some people have a hard time knowing how to bring that happiness into their current lives. These tips on personal development can help you get closer to your own personal sense of fulfillment. Seek pure truth rather than flowery words. Wisdom does not always come in a nice package, but it is powerful and pure in its mission. Discern the truth and wisdom in your day to day life, and separate it from false ideas that are dressed up nicely in flowery language and passed off as wisdom.
