In this series, we want to discuss the importance of setting a plan for the foundation of your personal development. Once we have an awareness surrounding the importance then we can use those building blocks to shift your plan into actions towards committing to a life of personal development. I will seek to make you conscious of where you can improve in your personal life by looking at 3 distinguished sections in our series: First, Lights: You must be Ready; Pinpoint areas regularly where you can improve and set guidelines to help manage a plan for personal development. Secondly, Camera: You must be set; Set your stage by becoming conscious and prepare to set the foundation to build on personal development. Lastly, Action; Action is the time to act on that plan. Commit and discipline yourself by implementing your plan and sticking to it. Take Action towards personal development.

“Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.”

-Tony Robbins

Nothing can be produced nor developed without an ACTION!

In order to move closer to your goal, you must take one step at a time and readjust from planning to action. A cheetah moves swiftly through the land planning and seeking his prey. As the cheetah places his eye on the prey, the cheetah realizes that it is so close that it must readjust from planning to action. The cheetah realizes it is so close to that it can smell and taste the reward. The only thing left for the cheetah to do in order to get the reward is to act. So, what does the cheetah do? The cheetah takes one step closer to the prey, then another step closer to it’s prey and each step the cheetah takes it gets closer to it’s reward.

Without readjusting during the stages of the process from planning and to a action the cheetah cannot reap it’s reward. The same way  a cheetah will be deprived of reward without making a move or taking an action is the same way that we cannot transcend into our greatness without taking action. Be willing to take the next step and take action on your personal development.

Nothing can be produced nor developed without an ACTION!

Without action, there is no growth. Day in and day out, make it a part of your lifestyle to put in an action to see personal development. Enlarge the scope of who you want to become and challenge yourself daily to take action to work through your plans for personal development. Once the action is started towards your personal development for greatness, do not let anything stop you or derail you from what you envision becoming. Once you enlarge the scope, you can clearly define your actions that you need to take in the face adversity. When adversity comes your way, the only thing that will push you through will be the scope. Why are you pursuing this goal? What motivates you? You need to understand and define your actions based on your scope which will ultimately drive you to continue to act!

You hold the keys to the vehicle so contribute and take the wheel on the path to your greatness. How do you contribute? Take the keys and start the engine, stop thinking and waiting on perfect circumstances. Put the vehicle  in drive and begin taking action towards your personal development. The time for action is the final and most crucial step in a focused vision towards becoming better. Envision the person you are trying to become prepare for the experience, TAKE ACTION and allow the development to occur.

“Nothing can be produced nor developed without an ACTION!”

We have to condition our mindset for action in order to reach our destiny. The change and shift in thinking starts and ends with the 3 P’s of personal development; purpose, process and power.

When you have a purpose for your personal development you know that their is greatness somewhere along the quest. Whenever you know the development is serving a greater purpose; you begin to initiate a faithful action.  Faithful actions such as thinking and speaking purpose into the world over your development. “I can be the best at whatever I do!” “I have a gift and a purpose that will generate success!” “I have faith that through my actions I will be guided closer to what I plan to accomplish!” Once we begin to use speech and thought over the purpose then we see the process to reach our destiny begin to manifest.

Trust the process and claim your destiny. Whenever we build definition through the purpose of our personal development,  the beauty of trusting the process begins to shape and form. We find ourselves becoming more self discipline and sacrificing certain things when we begin trusting the process. Why? Because whenever we identify the reward by trusting the process, we begin to live life with a sense of urgency. We realize our self discipline and sacrifices that we are making are reviving what we always envisioned in ourselves. We discover talents and skills in areas of our lives that we always knew were inside of us, but we also discover gifts that we never knew existed. That is the beauty of trusting the process. Once we activate the process through an action, we begin to develop power.

Finally, once we define the purpose and trust the process we begin to discover the power of personal development. The ability that comes out of us by believing that we can succeed is pure power stored inside of us. The universe has designed a purpose and process for each and every one of us in order to bring that power stored inside of us out. The question that you need to ask yourself is how far are you willing to go in order to discover your power? It takes a special amount of grit in order to activate your power. How much are you willing to endure in order to discover the definition of your purpose? How much are you willing to sacrifice in order to claim your purpose? Each action serves to help us grow and without a true desire for personal development you may never truly understand your calling. This journey of personal development takes us to the deep end of the ocean, but it also will take us to the highest points of the universe where we can discover just how powerful we are.

Nothing can be produced nor developed without an ACTION!

Camera: You Must Be Focused

“I don’t focus on what I’m up against. I focus on my goals and try to ignore the rest.”

– Venus Williams

The above quote symbolizes the importance of being set, being focused and being aware of what we want to accomplish. No person, thing, or obstacle is responsible for your development except you.  You must identify the areas of personal development that you would like to improve and focus your time and energy on making those improvements. Everything that you do to improve yourself is an added value to “YOU”. Therefore, it is up to you to interrupt the flow and the patterns that are causing you not to focus on reaching your potential.

The Producer or DJ makes the beat, but if the producer or DJ does not stay in tuned with his beat then the beat loses the rhythm. If we move blindly with no focus, then we are setting ourselves up to lose our rhythm. We lose our beat and in return we do not reach maximum productivity to reach our goals. Challenge yourself to focus 100% on your goals and get in a rhythm so you can enjoy the sweetness of the ending product. A Producer’s ending product is his or her music, your product is whatever you are seeking to improve. Put in the work, commit yourself and focus.

Be a goal taker. Empty your mind of anything that is not assisting you in pursuing your goals. You spent the time envisioning a clear path to reach your goal, you took the time building the foundation; now it’s time to FOCUS. Without FOCUS, you lose the most important resource for your development. You have a map, you have a vision for what you want to accomplish, but you do not posses the tools to set up shop and stay on track toward success without focusing.

We must become consciously committed  to focusing on areas that we have identified for personal development. We must meditate and block out the distractions surrounding the areas that we have identified for personal development. We must set a bounty out on the areas that we have identified, and mentally prepare ourselves to capture and conquer those areas of personal development.

Whenever a videographer shoots an appealing scene for a film, they must focus their eyes and the camera on the areas they want to capture. The same concept is important for anyone seeking personal development. Focus in on areas where you can improve and allow the grand picture to be captured and developed in scenes or phases.  In each phase or scene their lies an area to be captured; which in turn contributes to the complete vision of our success. In each phase or scene of your life capture the opportunities presented for personal development. Then, as you shift to your new objective, keep a focused vision to capture the next opportunity for improvement. The focus that you utilize through each scene sets the stage for your vision towards personal development.

A director faces the challenge of producing a successful work piece. A director has to have a vision and a plan to take scene by scene in order to reach a strong ending. When a director looks at the vision of  their project, he or she must be sharp and focused to fulfill the script and vision for their project. In order to do this, they must stay on track and remain focused on the results that they want to accomplish. Director, it’s time to make your master piece. It’s time to “BE FOCUSED” so you can become one step closer to reaching your happily ever after.

Director’s Script

In order to build a sound plan for personal development you must have a plan. The same way that a director writes a masterful piece is the same way we must build a sound outline for personal development. We must promote a mindset of determination to seek our  development in areas where we want to see improvement. Secondly, we must take note and commit to goals that we want to achieve. On our quest towards personal development each goal should unify towards an ultimate vision. A pioneer has a vision for gold, and a pioneer does not find his treasure without a map. Step by step should provide a map towards the reward that you want to accomplish. The same goes for a director, if we look at the way a director writes his script then we notice that we cannot reach the happily ever after without going through each scene  to achieve the benefit of a happy ending.

A plan or a script requires your commitment. Your craft requires a willingness to be motivated to reach your goal. I want to challenge you to look at yourself in the mirror and make a decision today that you will stop free styling life and actually take the time to invest in yourself by developing a plan.  Les Brown, one of my favorite mentors, says “Most people spend more time working on their jobs than they spend working on themselves. They work harder on their jobs than they work on themselves.” I challenge you to take a close look at who or what you are investing your time and talents in.  While your occupation may be where your best gift lies; are you truly using your gift for your own personal development or someone else’s gift?

The beauty of planning is that it increases value. The value of reaching your goal with a plan in place outweighs  taking life on with no true direction. Your ability to think and put down your thoughts reveal what your inner spirit is trying to feed to you and assists you in placing a plan into place to create a foundation. A strong foundation relies on multiple layers of matter. Defining your thoughts and generating a plan based on those thoughts creates layers and layers to help build a strong foundation.  A strong foundation develops a process that breaks you free from having to rely on the simplicity of a weak foundation. A plan provides an inner response and desire to reach your reward which will free any negative emotions which may hinder you during the process. We find that we are more capable of achieving our goals when we have a plan in sight. We protect ourselves from fear, insecurity, and procrastination that stunts our plans manifestation when we have a plan in place. The ultimate warrior looks at a leaf and envisions food. The ultimate warrior looks at a stick and envisions fire. Be the ultimate warrior and use planning as a resource throughout the battle of personal development.

A director faces the challenge of producing a successful work piece. A director has to have a vision and a plan to take scene by scene in order to reach a strong ending. When a director looks at the vision that they are seeking to shoot for their project, he or she must accept that they cannot jump to the ending without fulfilling the center layers of their project. In order to do this, they take one scene at a time and master it piece by piece so that they can reach their happily ever after.

So are you ready (Que the Lights!)? Are you set (Team, get the cameras in place!)? Then let’s get started….The stage to perform is ready, the script is written, the audience has taken their seats with a big bag of buttery popcorn and a large Coca-Cola to wash it down…Let’s go out, let’s put on a show and let’s reach our happy ever after ending.

The Introduction

“Let’s go out, let’s put on a show and let’s reach our happy ever after ending.”

I want to begin by saying  “Welcome and Thank You” for joining me for the new series  entitled “Lights, Camera, Action: Personal Development.” I am glad that you have decided to join us and  I hope that you will gain valuable knowledge that you can take with you during this series. “My goal will always be able to bring value and inspiration to a thirsty spirit seeking self improvement.”

In this series, we want to discuss the importance of setting a plan for the foundation of your personal development. Once we have an awareness surrounding the importance then we can use those building blocks to shift your plan into actions towards committing to a life of personal development. I will seek to make you conscious of where you can improve in your personal life by looking at 3 distinguished sections in our series: First, Lights: You must be Ready; Pinpoint areas regularly where you can improve and set guidelines to help manage a plan for personal development. Secondly, Camera: You must be set; Set your stage by becoming conscious and prepare to set the foundation to build on personal development. Lastly, Action; Action is the time to act on that plan. Commit and discipline yourself by implementing your plan and sticking to it. Take Action towards personal development.

Whether we are at a point in life where we are satisfied or maybe we are simply comfortable (you should never be satisfied nor comfortable), personal development is a continuous expedition. Whether we have discovered our gifts or we are still seeking our purpose, personal development is a continuous expedition. Whether we are at the point in life where life lessons have prepped us and now we are pivoting in every direction just digging in different sections to gain more out of lives; personal development is a continuous expedition.

Each of us is currently going through a phase. The phase of personal development. Some of us progress quicker in our journey towards personal development and some of us progress slower. Some of us lack certain traits on our expedition and some of us have a surplus of traits to assist in our development. However, no matter the route we choose or the abundance of resources we all should be in the same space. The space we are intertwined in is a space of understanding that personal development should never become an act that halts nor stops.

Personal development should be progressive towards becoming “The Best Version of Ourselves”. You need to understand that becoming the best version of yourself does not occur overnight. You should also never come to a stage in your life where you are satisfied or comfortable with yourself because there is always room for improvement. Your work and your development should never be complete until the universe determines your purpose has been fulfilled.

So are you ready (Que the Lights!)? Are you set (Team, get the cameras in place!)? Then let’s get started….The stage to perform is ready, the script is written, the audience has taken their seats with a big bag of buttery popcorn and a large Coca-Cola to wash it down…Let’s go out, let’s put on a show and let’s reach our happy ever after ending.

Director’s final call…3,2,1…Lights….Camera…. Action!
