This site is about personal development. Its purpose is to assist people who want to improve their lives, reach their full potential and strive towards emotional, spiritual, social and physical success and wellbeing.

We offer ideas, inspiration, information and insights on topics such as goal setting, affirmations, mindfulness, motivation, positive thinking, success, relevant courses and recommended books on self development.

Our ambition is to provide resources to anyone who takes an interest in their self improvement and who is willing to experience profound changes.

Personal growth and development is a process and this site provides free information and tools on how to build a better you, a successful life in every sense of the word. On this site, there is a heavy emphasize on personal responsibility and the freedom to choose our own thoughts, emotions and actions.

The development of yourself comes through what goes on inside of you. If you realize that everything starts within yourself, you will begin to see that it is possible to affect your thoughts, values, beliefs and actions. As a result, you can create virtually anything you like!

For most of us, we have been led to believe that we need to have and do an endlesss amount of things in order to become happy, fulfilled and successful. That is untrue, however. Through self development we realize that we need to first be in order to do and then do in order to have. In that order. After all, we are human beings - not human doings. That is a huge difference!

When you discover your own personal values and believes, you begin to act accordingly, instead of acting on someone elses idea of what is right or wrong, good or bad. When you scrutinize your inner self, you need courage, strength, motivation and tools to continue. You will find the resources here.

Engaging in personal development is sometimes a struggle. However, the rewards are greater personal freedom! Knowing yourself is the road to true success, not just materially, but also emotionally, spiritually and socially.

Your true inner self remains the same regardless of outer circumstances. It is like an orange: The inside (the true inner being) remains the same regardless of where it is or what happens around it. If someone squeezes it (trouble, stress, illness), something pure still comes out (your true inner self). That is one of the reasons this site is called personal development inside out and has an orange in the logo!

As you spend time and effort on your own development, your life changes from the inside out. If you begin with your inside - anything will manifest itself on the outside.

What is personal development?

Self growth, self improvement and self development are all terms describing the same thing: The conscious act of improving yourself in every possible way into something that you choose.

Why engage in personal development?

To reach your full potential as a human being, you want to be in command of your life and take responsibility. You can be a person who influences, not a person who only gets influenced (usually taken advantage of). A consciously living person is more likely to make wiser decisions and ultimately make the world a better place.

How does personal development work?

A number of methods, techniques and tools are provided for free on this site. Goal setting, mindfulness, affirmations and keeping a personal development journal are just a few examples.

When is the time for personal development?

Now. Always now.

Where is the place for personal development?

Here. Development takes place all the time everywhere. Our mission is to help you develop in a positive direction.

Who can benefit from personal development?

Anybody who is open minded enough to try out new concepts. Anybody who has the courage to think out of the box. Anybody who accepts that personal development is a marathon - not a sprint. Anybody who is willing to commit to his or her own personal growth and development and embrace the outcome.

List of personal development benefits:

"It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship."(Norman Vincent Peale)
