Self-Development: The Given Reality
We Human Beings Are Born With The Potential For Curiosity, Which Guides Us To Search & Inquire. We Also Have To Look Upon Our Survival, But We Also Have Relatively More Capability For Reason & Logic Than Any Other Living Beings Found Till Now. We Should Develop Conscience & Know How To Differentiate Between Right & Wrong Things. But Unfortunately, Most People Don't Have Clarity About It. They Are Ready To Compromise Anything By Taking Convenient Decisions Rather Than The Right Ones, Knowingly Or Unknowingly, Mainly For Their Survival, Therefore Harming Their Own Lives & Those Of Others Too.
According To Me, Self-Development Is The Given Reality Of Our Lives. It Will Help Us Gain More Clarity About It, As It Is Essential For Us, Therefore Helping Us To Lead A Meaningful & Purposeful Life. Please Remember That It's Not The Ultimate Reality. It's Yet To Be Found, If There's Any. I've Made A Framework For Self-Development That Is Completely Open To Changes & New Ideas, Whether It Be The Addition Or Subtraction Of Any Points, Categories, Or Sub-Categories In It. It's Strictly Not Open To Interpretation & Subjectivity, As It Causes A Lot Of Confusion & Misunderstanding.
(1) Meaning: It is the process by which a person's character and abilities are gradually developed.
(2) Everything We Do Or Are Going To Do Is Inherently Self-Associated:
(A) Decision-Making Process: All our decisions are based on our dominant desire at that moment, which is influenced by our dominant pleasure at that moment, which is beyond our control, as it is shaped by biological and environmental factors.
(B) Our Process Of Doing A Particular Thing: Observe -> Think & Understand -> Purpose -> Decision -> Action.
(C) Our Process Of Feeling About A Particular Thing: Discomfort -> Compassion -> Satisfaction/Dissatisfaction -> Attachment (Conditional).
(3) Self-Realization: It is the process of realizing all the possibilities of our character and abilities. The steps are as follows:
(A) Honesty: Always be truthful with ourselves and always try our best to be truthful with others.
(B) Clear Observation: Always observe things as they are without letting personal biases or prejudices influence our perception.
