None of these techniques are "quick fix", they take time and effort to implement. Which is part of why they're so important @Eathan White,

]]> Comment on 5 Secret Keys to Successful Personal Development by Chris Cade | Spiritual Stories & Parables http://blog.scramblejam.com/2008/02/secrets-to-successful-personal-development/#comment-764 Chris Cade | Spiritual Stories & Parables Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:48:01 +0000 http://blog.scramblejam.com/2008/02/secrets-to-successful-personal-development/#comment-764 If people followed just these five basic ideas, the world would be a much happier and peaceful place. I think the most challenging aspect of personal growth is the fundamental idea behind them: that we are flawed. The thing is, none of us have anything "wrong" with us. Our basic self... the person we were born into this world as is perfect. The only flaw is we've *added* lots of stuff on top of that perfection to cover it over... to make us not realize that we're perfect underneath all of the conditioning we've adopted from others. In that light, I would probably add a 6th premise along the lines of "Acceptance" or "You're Okay." So often people reject themselves or parts of themselves, and that just makes it even harder for them to progress down the path of personal development.
