Today’s weekly micro-blog post is actually a bit different. I was playing around with the Notion AI, and I wanted to include what it came up with. Alongside my own thoughts and ideas.

To differentiate each section the AI’s section will be in a quote box, and mine will be normal text.

Introduction

Self-development is a lifelong process that involves a conscious effort to improve oneself. This can be achieved through various means such as learning new skills, setting and achieving goals, and improving one’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in self-development, with more and more people seeking to better themselves. In this blog post, we will explore three reasons why self-development is becoming increasingly popular.

While yes it is becoming increasingly popular over the past few decades, let alone century. There is a reason why it is advancing at an even greater rate, and that is because we are realizing that the rules set up before us; They shouldn’t apply to us anymore, or maybe shouldn’t have at all.

Such as the social norm to specialize versus being more generalized.

Being someone who pursues self-development I think, in my opinion, is purely acting upon your life as a human being. It is integral and part of the human experience.

The more you pursue it however, the greater your chances at success become.

The Rise of the Digital Age

One of the main reasons for the rapid growth in self-development is the rise of the digital age. With the advent of the internet and social media, people have access to a wealth of information on self-development. There are numerous websites, blogs, and social media accounts dedicated to providing information and resources on self-improvement. This has made it easier for people to learn about self-development and to connect with others who share similar goals.

I really like where the AI was going with this prompt, and honestly I couldn’t agree more. The advent of the internet changed everything, and we are seeing that to this very moment.

You are learning about Self-development through a written article, on a social platform built upon the web.

This is where the Modular Degree comes into play.

The Need for Personal Growth

Another reason for the growth in self-development is the need for personal growth. Many people feel that they are not living up to their full potential, and they want to improve themselves in various areas of their lives. This could be in their careers, relationships, or personal lives. By focusing on self-development, individuals can gain the skills and knowledge they need to achieve their goals and live more fulfilling lives.

You can almost see someone’s level of personal growth based on their actions, mindset, and even appearance.

Granted it isn’t foolproof, but there is a lot you can tell about someone based on those things. Being someone who pursues a better version of themselves shows in their life to others.

People who aren’t living up to their potential will show to others, and you should listen when someone points it out.

The Benefits of Self-Development

Finally, the growth in self-development can be attributed to the numerous benefits that come with it. Self-development can improve one’s confidence, self-esteem, and overall well-being. It can also lead to increased productivity, better relationships, and greater success in one’s personal and professional life. As more people become aware of these benefits, they are motivated to invest time and effort into self-development.

Honestly, I spent the first 6 years after high school pursuing my own self-development. Learning as many things as I could, and I could easily say I learned way more on my own than I did in school.

In addition, I’d argue I learned more on my own, than I would have in college as well. That was my journey, and it isn’t going to be the same for you. However knowing what you need out of life is crucial.

Conclusion

I’m leaving it with the words of the AI:

In conclusion, self-development is experiencing rapid growth due to the rise of the digital age, the need for personal growth, and the numerous benefits it offers. Whether you are looking to improve your career, relationships, or personal life, self-development can help you achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life. So, take the first step towards self-improvement today and start your journey towards a better you.
