Think before you limit your life!

I have recently been reading a number of books that focus on adding some definition to our lives. The books formulate categories that we can apply to ourselves, they seek to define our actions by the category that we are in and help readers learn about themselves by the category that they fit into.

Whilst it is important for us to make sure that we continually deveote time to our personal development, we need to be cautious of the methodology that we choose to do this through.

Many of these books are very black and white about how these categories influence us, but we are always more than just a category.

The most important thing to remember is that we are individuals and that no category can really explain our behaviours alone.

Throughout our lives there are a number of things that affect our behaviour, for example our values, our situation at that time, our upbringing, our influencers our mood and our motives, these will never be the same for any two individuals at any given time.

So when you read these sorts of books, remember that they are only a guide, they do not classify you as a person, you are more than this. You will act differently depending on certain variables.

The most important thing is to know your true values, to understand what you really are about and to act on these and in a way that is true to yourself.

So as you look to continue your development, take the parts that you like, modify them to what you believe and most importantly, act in accordance with who you are and be true to yourself.
