First step towards Personality Development

Man open eyes in this world and over time develops into a unique individual, performing role of a social animal. This leads to the concept of personality which is a relatively enduring pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that distinguish individuals from one another. Uniqueness of these characteristics and patterns in a personality is partially due to unique set of genes that a person is born with and then eventually the wide range of environmental and social factors that shape the personality throughout the lifespan. Personality development is defined as a process of developing and enhancing one’s personality. Personality development helps an individual to gain confidence and high self-esteem. Personality development also is said to have a positive impact on one’s communication skills and the way he sees the world. Individuals tend to develop a positive attitude as a result of personality development. Personality development goes a long way in reducing stress and conflicts. It encourages individuals to look at the brighter sides of life and face even the worst situations with a smile. Nothing works better than a big smile when it comes to interacting with people around. A smiling face wins even the toughest soul. Smile not only helps in enhancing an individual’s personality but also winning other’s heart. While it is important to smile it is really essential to think positive as well. One should be a little flexible and always look at the broader perspectives of life. A healthy thought process can be supported only with a healthy body and a healthy body demands to dress sensibly. Dressing sensibly and smartly go a long way in honing one’s personality. One needs to dress according to the situation.  An individual who is well dressed is respected and liked by all. Just like a rose is nothing without fragrance an individual’s personality is nothing without kindness and compassion towards others. One should be soft spoken, avoid being rude and short tempered. Ego makes a personality rot. It stops evolution of thought process. Backbiting- Backstabbing and criticizing people are negative traits which work against an individual’s personality.  One must learn to appreciate others and do not always find faults in others.  An individual who is good from within is loved by all. Helping others is the final tool in personality development. When a person is involved in an act of kindness by helping a fellow being he explores new potential in life setting a cycle of positive changes in his personality.
