About personal development I’ve been surfing the net lately reading some articles about human development that some friends have recommended me; most of them constantly link Personal Development to the fact of making money and I think that is because the common thought finds in celebrities and businessmen its examples to illustrate the meaning of Success. The way I see it, Financial Development is the natural consequence of inner development but not the main point and not even a primordial factor. A successful life can not be defined in terms of economy, actually most people who have given something to the progress of humanity are remembered not for the money they made but for the ideas they have contributed with; people like Socrates, Buddha or Jesus didn't’t have a fame based on their economic status but on the influence their ideas had on people’s lives; after all, everything we do is done after a thought and we are the things we think. I don’t mean people should forget about their material life, I only think that Personal Development doesn't’t have to do with Social Recognition or how much money one has in a bank account. To me, a successful life is achieved when a person gets to live in peace with himself and with the others no matter how much he has or he doesn't’t have, that’s the true way to happiness....This is only a reflection =)
