Welcome!: My Personal Development Fav's & Currents

Hey girls! The last few months of my life I've been completely OBSESSED with personal development books & for good reason! I learn of the important form being a beachbody coach and call me crazy but... I swear this is better than a college degree!! I know I know, crazy right?! But seriously. When you're in the business that I'm in, it is SO life changing. My very firs personal development book was "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" by Sean Covey. I got it for a birthday gift when I was 13, and I was actually REALLY excited about it! I never even knew there was "self-help" books out there until I got that book, and it completely gave me an edge. That year in school I felt like I had a "leg up" on my school mates (I know ;) ... competition is stiff in grade 7 LOL). But in all seriousness, I loved it! Reaidng about how to better myself felt like I finally had access to the manual of LIFE! Amazing, right?! After that I got "The 6 most important decisions teens will make" which I also loved, and also by Sean Covey.

Fast forward throughout high school and I totally stopped my self-help time! I got wrapped up in school, activities, friends, and the attempt to stay sane. Little did I know that staying on the personal development path would've been the KEY to staying sane.. but oh well! Nothing I can change about that now, can only do better in the future! SO, last summer after first being exposed to beachbody I purchased "The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy from Amazon and WOW!!! Have you read it yet?!?!? Please do yourself a favour and read this!! That was the beginning to a long and exciting road of what is now my "Life-long journey to bettering myself!"

I have to say, Personal Development is the best money you can spend on yourself. Trust me when I say every dollar you invest into this will come back to you TENFOLD!!

Here's a list of books I've read and LOVED! Pretty much every PD book I've read will be on here and thats because they are all REMARKABLE! But... if one wasn't great I wouldn't put it here so trust this list, grab your reading glasses, and get going on your goals!

The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy
21 Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell
The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson
How To Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy
The Success Principles by Jack Canfield

As of right now I have two books on the go that I really encourage you to read as well!!

I picked up the first one a couple weeks ago - "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren.
I've always struggled with understanding and having faith in God, despite my desire for a close relationship with Him. I can honestly say that after only being on day 9 of this book I already feel such a change! I'm starting to understand what it means to live a life in God's name and to love him first. If you're trying to get closer to Him, and understand your purpose on Earth please read this one!! Major turn-around for all christians or christians in training.

My other current read is "Commit to Win" by Heidi Reeder. I'm REALLY excited about this book! I'm only on chapter 2 but the gears in my head are already getting in motion. As most of us know from setting our NYE goals on the back burner, motivation and willpower eventually run out, right?! This book addressed the other piece of the puzzle - COMMITMENT! I'm so excited to learn a new twist on staying accountable to goals since I've been feeling "low-motivation" for those lately.
