This month's blog post shall be dedicated to some excellent curated material on personal growth and development. Classic words carved on stone or written on marble, if you prefer. All in all, we must not forget that it boils down to us to strive to bring about the change or improvement we want to see in our lives.

UNLEASHING THE POWER WITHIN
How many times have you heard yourself say, ÊșI want to change something!Êș Maybe you started to create a change, felt really great about it, and then found yourself lapsing right back to where you were in the first place. You may have felt frustrated, defeated, or unable to move yourself beyond whatever was holding you back.
Lasting change is what you are after. To create lasting change, you must first believe three things:
1. Change is a MUST, not a should.
2. I must change it.
3. I CAN change it.
All human behavior is beliefâdriven. Beliefs carry consequences.

THE POWER OF COMMITTMENT
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back; always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

I hope you found the brief but articulate articles on unleashing your power, the significance of committment and the keys to happiness as well as success, useful and exciting.
Bongos Ikwue once proclaimed "Nothing good comes easy..." in his song Still Searching. That is a fact of life and you must persevere in order to unleash your potential.
What resonated most with you in this post? What is the most impactful? I especially like the idea of being open to new ideas - learning!
Share your thoughts and let us compare notes to see how best we can support one another to learn, grow and succeed.
