subject: You And Personal Development Gurus [print this page] When you were much younger at school, you may have heard your teachers or instructors tell you that you, the student, make your own grades and they are there to simple put in on record. The same drill works in the adult life. Your boss watches your performance. You are in for a promotion based on your performance. Life is indeed a learning experience. No matter how long you have been living with yourself, you can never fully understand. It takes time and effort to get to know you. Living a busy life of constant rush and buzz make things more hazy. You can easily get lost. You can lose focus, lose your dreams or lose your life, what you have been living for.
The adult life is not as simple as your childhood. Everything is about responsibilities, deadlines, dues, finances, etc. You and many other adults have probably complained about this more than enough. And indeed, life can become stressful and tiring. But all these things are part of growing up. Now you can sulk with your sorry self and rant about what a mess your life has become or you can embrace the change and prepare for it. This in itself is the aim of a life coach or personal development gurus.
Everyone struggles. But happier people are more light-hearted because they know and understand things better. They have a different outlook than unenlightened ones do not have. In this regard, personal development gurus could help. Instead of teaching, directing and instructing, they guide you in a self reflection process with the aim of enabling a better version of yourself. But before this positive transition can happen, you will have to allow yourself to go through it.
