Hi All,

I've joined this forum to assist in my quest of self development and improvement.

I guess I've reached that time in my life where I have become curious about why things are the way they are and developed a natural curiousity to see how far I can push the boundaries of myself.

I aspire to be the sort of charismatic, interesting and fun loving person I currently admire.
Of course if I can help anyone else along the way then that will be a bonus.

It looks like I have a fair amount of work to do.

The fact that even now I feel slightly guilty about admitting I want to improve myself and that others may see me as selfish is a perfect example of my previous programming and that little internal voice that seems to hinder me everywhere I go.

I believe I need improvement in the following areas:

So to sum up - I have a fairly good idea of what I would like to be like at this stage in my life and I also believe I have identified my main weeknesses.

What I am really seeking is the best and most effective solutions to the above and feedback from other people who have had similar issues and whether they have really overcome them.

I have read and listened to a fair amount of material but sometimes feel its a bit like watching a television show thats not really real and I'm not sure if I'm really learning anything.

I took a short workshop recently which was all focused around practical examples and actually putting things into practice - this proved revolutionary for me in its approach and this is definitely how I need to learn.

Like a lot of people I just want to learn the best of what works and apply it.

I realise diffent things work for different people but hopefully there is a process of identifying what will work for me based on what has worked in the past in different areas of my life.

I look forward excitedly to any responses and help that will steer me in the right direction and help me become the best me.

Thanks,

Chris.
