Discover via this personal development website, how to attain wealth in all areas of your life. This is much simpler than most people realise. Happiness, success, becoming rich etc. are all simply states of mind, ways of thinking and being and I'm not just talking about positive thinking either.

The more we love and nurture something the more it grows. However, it is vital that we don't confuse love with obsession or lust, these are totally different, destructive emotions. The bottom line in becoming wealthier in all areas of our lives is this: Shower anything with love and appreciation and it will respond accordingly.

Wealthnugget4u:- Personal development: Always carry at least £50 on your person, even if it's your last £50. The psychological benefits of touching and seeing this money numerous times a day are enormous. I don't use a wallet I prefer to carry my money in my pocket so that it's closer to my skin.

Every time I touch or see the money I thank God for it. If currently you can't afford that amount of money then use fake money instead. Don't be embarrassed about people seeing it either, I kiss my banknotes every time I put them into or take them out of my pocket (scary), so don't worry about it.

Money is obviously an essential part of wealth, but it IS only a part of it. As well as discussing how to make more money we are going to explore how to become wealthier in all areas of our lives, like most other things there is a method to it.

Since I started to understand the art of personal development, my life has undergone all manner of improvements. I've met and married my soul mate, attained a company directorship, a wonderful lifestyle and most satisfyingly, I've acquired inner peace of mind and contentment, something I could only have dreamt about ten years ago.

My Top Three Personal Development Methods Are:

1. GRATITUDE:- We must strive to develop the habit of being grateful for absolutely everything in our lives. This has many benefits including altering our mindset from one of lack to one of privilege it also changes other people's perception of us and good things suddenly start showing up in our lives much more often.

2. SELF PRAISE:- We are all far too self critical we erode our own confidence without even being aware we are doing it. By regularly practicing the habit of self praise, your confidence will soon start to grow. However, self confidence is best developed one small step at a time we shouldn't push ourselves too far too quickly.

3. DETERMINATION:- Success as the saying goes is undoubtedly 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration. We need to focus on our desired result, decide what we are willing to do and/or give up to achieve it, always be honest with ourselves and then just go for it.

The world economy is currently going through it's toughest time in more than 20 years, but we shouldn't be afraid of the 'credit crunch' because this is the climate in which successful people flourish, anyone can do it when the conditions are easy.

Jim Rohn, the famous American business guru and personal development expert stated that. "We should work harder on ourselves than we do at our job. Because, if we work hard at our job we'll make a living, but if we work hard on ourselves we'll make a fortune!" He also declared that. "We shouldn't wish for cicumstances to be easier, instead we should wish that we were stronger."

If that sounds like hard work don't be discouraged, because change is always better implemented one small step at a time. However, if we invite change, we will surely get it. Therefor, it's imperative that we know exactly what it is we want.

Wealthnugget4u:- Personal development: Never leave a penny or a dime on the pavement. If we do, God (the force that drives the universe) will interpret it as us not needing any additional wealth.

Likewise, never refuse a gift, no matter how small or inappropriate it appears at the time. If we do not show gratitude for all forms of wealth, irrespective of whether it appears large or small, or whether we think that we need it or not, it will simply stop coming to us.

Wealthnugget4u:- Personal development: I regularly soak all my copper in vinegar to make it all shiny and new looking again. As I said previously, shower anything in love and appreciation, and it will respond accordingly.

Please visit all sections of this personal development website, if you really want to attain wealth in all areas of your life, I have studied human nature in the most minutest of detail over the years, and I have laid out much of what I've learned in this website.

People handling is such a vital skill and one that is much misunderstood. I deal with all aspects of human behaviour in the site's BUSINESS and GROWTH sections but for now please consider the following Wealthnugget4u:-

Sprinkle all your conversations with friends or business associates with the term:- "As you say" or "As you said" and then recall some appropriate phrase of theirs. This is a great way of building empathy and will automatically make a person warm to you.

There's nothing people love more than to hear their words reiterated. It makes them feel important and furthermore, they'll thank you for making them feel that way. We all want similar things, and we all want to feel loved and appreciated.

I will endeavour to write as much personal development content as possible. Enjoy the site, good luck with your personal development plans and I sincerely hope you become wealthy in all areas of your life.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: RANDOM COMMENT

# Rather than waiting for something like money, the perfect partner, a great job, new house etc to make you happy, try to FEEL happy now.

You can FEEL any which way you want to it is all down to personal choice, it's one of the great freedoms of life.

# If you want to improve your children's personal development then praise their EFFORT, not their ABILITY, If you praise their EFFORT it will encourage them to try even harder, If you praise their ABILITY they will develop a fear of failure. They will think that you already regard them as being 'top dog', so why should they do anything more and risk jeopardising the situation?

# When you say thank you it means something good has happened. If you keep saying thank you good things will start to happen, it's called the law of reverse effect.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: SOMETHING DIFFERENT

The main difference between humans and rats:

When we as humans face difficult problems we have a tendency to give up far too easily. Instead of persevering, we prefer to look for someone to blame.

We'll blame our boss, our work colleagues, our partners, our kids, the government. In fact, we'll blame anyone, but we rarely blame ourselves. This process makes us feel better about our lives and serves as an excuse for not succeeding.

Conversely, when rats face difficult situations they adopt a totally different attitude. They are born survivors there are more of them than us on this planet.

Nothing stops them. If there is a way, a solution to a problem then they will find it, no matter how long it takes them or how difficult the problem is.

The rat in it's own simplified way knows one of the secrets of personal development. It takes RESPONSIBILTY for it's life. If we don't take responsibility for our own lives then someone else will.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT DIARY ARCHIVE: WED 25TH/JAN/12

RETRO POST: ORIGINALLY POSTED TUES 13TH SEPT/11

"WHO WEARS THE TROUSERS?" (NO 30)

LIFESTYLE:

Men's haircuts versus women's hairdos:

Legislation should be passed outlawing unisex hair salons. Only men should be allowed to cut men's hair and only women should be allowed to cut women's. In fairness, women probably observe this unwritten 'law' already, but the guys are far more gullible.

W. "Would you like a shampoo and rinse before I cut your hair sir?"

M. "No thanks, just a regular haircut, will be fine."

W. "Are you sure sir, it's included in the price?"

M. "Okay, go on then."

After the shampoo and rinse, the hairdresser will give you a free (sorry, a complimentary, all inclusive in the price) appraisal of your hair's condition. A guy's some total interest in hairdressing is to come out of the shop with shorter hair than when he went in. Of course, girls don't subscribe to this theory. Oh no.

W. "Hmm ... let's see (Musses guy's hair - a la Stan Laurel) I could really do something with this hair. How about highlights? They would hide that tinge of grey and give you a whole new look."

M. "A standard trim will be fine thanks."

W. "Are you sure, I'm feeling creative?"

M. "Yeah, I'm sure - thanks all the same."

W. "How about extensions?"

Well the experiment was worth a try, but you can't beat your dependable old barber. A chat about the footy, same old trusted haircut you've had for the last twenty years, mirror at the back of the head, and it's job done in less than fifteen minutes.

Women, however, view the whole hair-styling process as some kind of ritual. Pick up any woman's magazine (metaphorically speaking of course) and you'll see at least half a dozen features about hair:

'Check out this week's fab celebrity hairstyles'.

'Hairdos and hairdont's'.

'Does your hairstyle suit your face shape?'.

WT - Oh my goodness, I'd never thought of that, I must look in the mirror immediately. (sucks cheeks in, puffs cheeks out, smiles, musses hair, shakes head, bares teeth) Hmm, probably not. That does it, it's time for a change, I wonder how violet dipped with pink would look? - Well, if it's good enough for Rhianna ...

To be continued ...

Top 10 internet searches on Yahoo for 2010 (UK and Ireland only) are as follows: 1. Lottery, 2. Job centre, 3. Weather, 4. Big Brother, 5. Cheryl Cole, 6. TV guide, 7. World Cup, 8. Train times 9. Katie Price 10. Horoscopes.

A recent report has revealed that China ranks fourth in the world in scientific research and development spending ($87.25 billion) behind the US, Japan and Germany.

China has called on all sides to exercise calm and restraint and not 'to pour oil on the flames' as tensions continue on the Korean Peninsula.

On a lighter note, Hertfordshire (England) police officers dined on pizzas at a crime scene before realising they had been ordered by a gang of torture suspects and should have been kept as evidence, a court heard...Doh!

Knowing that our general safety and protection is in the hands of such professional and competent people kind of gives you a warm glow, it's either that or indigestion.

A three-year-old boy in China had to be cut out of a washing machine this week after becomming stuck while playing hide and seek with his mother.

Don't you just love smartass kids.
