One Shoe Does Not Fit All, Find Your Shoe

It is important on your quest of personal development to recognize your personality type.

I believe the reason why many people struggle on their journey of personal development is because they are reading and listening to many mentors who are sharing many different techniques and exercises. The techniques and exercises being taught may have worked for the person teaching them, however may not work as well for you. Usually the principles are solid and do work. It is the application that may be a challenge for you.

We all have different personalities and ways that 'naturally flow'. Certain techniques and exercises are going to resonate for different people. Some people have a more structured personality. So more structured techniques will work better for them. Some people have a more free flowing personality and those very structured techniques may not work as well.

It is important to begin to start to get in touch with your own personality and who YOU are. It is not necessarily the exercise or technique that is effective, it is the principle behind it. When you learn to recognize the essence of what your mentors and teachers are teaching, you will be able to develop your own techniques and exercises that work for you.

For example, some teachers say to write down five things you are grateful for and five things you have done well today, at the end of the day. Perhaps you have tried to do this, but just can't stay consistent. Well maybe this is too structured for you. It may work better for you to have several notebooks around your home and one in your car. Then write what you are grateful for or what you have done well many times throughout the whole day.

Again, it is the principle of the exercise that is effective. There are many ways to apply these principles to work with the Universal Laws. So, I encourage you, moving forward, to focus on the essence of the teachings that you read and listen to and come up with your own ways to apply them. It is important, however, to apply them. So do come up with a way and take daily action.
