Personal growth is an act of improving yourself intelectually, financially, physically and mentally. It is about moving in the positive direction. One of the keys to personal transformation is self knowledge. Looking inward is all one needs to know and understand oneself, the universe and life. There are many doors that open inward for self discovery. One of these is through the understanding of our emotions. Fear is the mother of all negative feelings. We are increasingly living in a fear based society. We fear loss of job, loss of income, loss of health, loss of security and loss of self esteem. We can live a life which is motivated by unconditional love. We can only do so if we can see ourselves as more than just a physical body. We are the owner of our thoughts and are totally responsible for the consequences arising from them.

Self confidence is a belief that is merely a perception of reality. In this world there are two types of truths-absolute and relative. We live in a universe where everything is relative to something else. An object is big in relation to another smaller object; the same is true for everything else. In a relative universe such as ours truth is only relative, it is never absolute. Absolute truth cannot be perceived or seen. One of the important things we need to realize is that we see and experience our world according to our beliefs. Since a believe is a perception of reality, there is no right or wrong in one field of self improvement. What works for one may not work for another. Self improvement is not rigid and blinkered science; there are many ingredients that can be blended to produce a large variety of self improvement.
