Lots of people today want to become rounded in fields other than their own daily work. Some want to develop the success traits of the millionaires and then they are others who just want to gain more knowledge on a subject of interest, passion, hobby or focus on expanding on previous educational knowledge.

No matter the reason for developing yourself, it would become much easier if you had a written development plan to follow in order to accomplish the goals you set out to achieve.

This written development plan becomes like a road map to keep you on track. Therefore the heart of this article then is to give you a general guide on how to write a development plan.

Get three bank sheets of paper or even better type, out your development plan on your computer following these easy steps:

Step 1: Write out the statement of your intentions. This would be what you intend to accomplish by developing yourself in your chosen area. With this at the head of your development plan you will never lose sight of what you want to accomplish and you will know exactly when you have achieved your goals.

Step 2: Write out what areas you have accomplished so far on your path to developing yourself. This will act like a barrier to keep your focus on what you have not accomplished as yet.

Step 3: Write out the areas you want to cover next; make sure you are not going over those areas that you wrote in step 2 above. Feel free to rewrite things from the second step if you want to refresh your memory on subjects that were done eons ago.

Step 4: Put the dates that you will meet your targets for each area that will be covered in the third step; this will help you focus on your goals.

Step 5: As you meet your goal that you have written in step 3, write next to them completed so you will know if you are applying adequate effort to reaching your targets, by the intended target dates you have laid out for yourself.

I hope this information satisfies your curiosity on how to write a development plan. As you can see it is very simple. Let us review the steps:

• Write a clear and concise statement of intentions.

• Write those areas already accomplished up to this point so you will not waist time going over what you already know.

• Write what subjects/areas of subjects, you want to gain knowledge on or expand your existing knowledge.

• Write the dates for which you will accomplish each area to be covered.

• As you accomplish your goals, make a note next to each area that has been covered.

• Make several copies so you can stick it up in places where you spend lots of time. This will serve as reminders and also motivation.

Now you know how to write a development plan of your own. I wish you the best of luck on your journey on gaining wisdom. Just put in the necessary effort and you will feel fulfilled when you reach your targets. Start now and write your development plan today.

If you wish to be strong and self-confident, and be sure of what to do and say at all times, you must develop your personality and intelligence. This can be easily done today by using my simplified version of Carl Jung's method of dream interpretation.

I continued Jung's research and discovered the anti-conscience that causes all mental illnesses. Therefore, I could clearly define the dream symbols in a more lucid manner than Jung.

Not only is this the best way to achieve your goal but it is also a completely safe way to deal with your psychological problems and cure your personality disorders. The wise unconscious that produces your dreams functions like your doctor, which tries to prevent the absurd anti¬-conscience from invading your conscience. It is not an ignorant person who may have many selfish interests and could distort the truth, mislead you and even seriously disturb your psyche instead of solving the already existent problems.

Through dreams, the unconscious will show you all your mistakes and how you can correct them, your false ideas and impressions and many things more. You'll acquire a third eye, and you will be able to better understand your present reality and the other people you meet.

Start writing your dreams in a notebook or PC file and compare them. This way you'll have a complete picture of your psychological condition and of everything you have to do in order to become more intelligent and self-confident, thus eliminating the negative alterations of your personality.

Also start behaving like a mature and wise person.

1. Think before you act. This way you'll avoid making mistakes and you will know what you are doing in life-you won't do things without understanding the consequences of your actions. This attitude will give you self-confidence and responsibility.

2. Define your opinion about everything without trying to please everyone, but bearing your own philosophy of life. First of all, keep in mind that it is really impossible to please everyone in this world. Secondly, start building your new and mature personality by selecting your preferences in life, your moral principles, ideals and your unique characteristics. Be original and unique without depending on other people's approval.

This way, you will feel secure because you'll always know who you are and what you like, accepting the fact that some people will agree with you and like you for what you are, while others won't like you and will never be on your side. Forget them and care for those who recognize your individual personality and preferences.

Of course, the beginning is difficult and you don't really know yourself yet. You may be insecure because you have many traumas or misconceptions and you may have personality disorders. This is why you need the guidance of the unconscious in your dreams, instead of trying to find the right solutions by yourself in the darkness of your ignorance.
