COMMUNITY LAUNCHING

Finally! The day has arrived for me to launch this very special community. Welcome to the Personal Development Community! One of my Hive Vision and Goals is to create a community where everyone can share their personal experiences and learn about personal development.

But what is Personal Development?

Personal Development is the life-long journey of maximizing our potentials and capabilities for us to achieve our goals and become the best version of ourselves. Each of us has been given the greatest of gifts and the power of free will. It is our destiny to actualize our purpose and our potential in this world.

"True and enduring power expresses itself when you contact your original gifts and realize your most lavish talents as a human," said Robin Sharma.

Personal development is about reaching deep inside us and taking a hold of our inner strength to pursue our passions, interests, and aspirations. Shying away from our inner greatness and living a mediocre life is disrespectful to ourselves and to the person we could become.

Marianne Willamson once said, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?"

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT CONTENT

Personal Development is such a broad subject. There is so much to write and talk about it. To help us better decide on the type of content to publish in this community, I have prepared the list below. This list can also be found in the Description section of the Community Page.

• Learning a new skill or capability
• Pursuing your creativity and passions
• Implementing positive changes in your life
• Adopting tools and strategies to improve your way of life
• Nurturing your holistic needs (physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual)
• Achieving personal and professional goals
• Overcoming adversities and struggles in life
• Sharing inspiring and uplifting stories of personal growth

To keep things in order, here are a simple set of rules for everyone who wishes to post and engage within the community. These can also be found in the Rules section of the Community Page.

1. Kindly post related content only. See the community description.
2. Content must be original and, preferably, personal. No plagiarized content, please.
3. Post must be in English or must have an English translation.
4. Cross-posting is encouraged if your content is relevant to other communities.
5. No hate speech, derogatory terms, and forms of discrimination are allowed. You will be muted.

SHARE YOUR STORIES, DOCUMENT YOUR JOURNEY

We can all learn from each other and take inspiration from our stories. Let us create a space in Hive where we can all share our journeys to becoming the best version of ourselves. Feel free to start publishing or crossposting in this community.

As for me, I will now have the proper avenue to share about my personal goal setting, my stories about learning how to drive a motorcycle or conquering the fears of freediving, reading more books this year than I've had in the past 10 years combined, developing the habit of waking up at 5 AM, becoming a digital minimalist, my fitness journey, and so much more!

I will be reaching out to the authors whose type of content I think will do well in this community. I've been keeping an eye on them (I don't want to tag them just yet). Also in my coming posts, I will be doing a writing prompt to help us share our personal development journeys.

And together, let us all reach our full potential!
