You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great____Zig Zigler

Are you feeling lost? Maybe you're always unfulfilled, and you feel like you could do so much more but you don't know where to start? Did it even occur to you that you should start with yourself?

Self-improvement (aka personal development) has become widely known thanks to the self-help best sellers and public speakers in the recent days. Many people have heard about it, but maybe you've never quite understood the reason behind it.

Personal development is the process of turning who you are into who you want to become. Maybe you're too shy, unconfident, have low self-esteem, you're struggling with your social skills...etc, and you want to become a better person, that's what self-improvement is all about.

Here are five really good reasons for you to start changing yourself today.

5. It makes you think in a bigger perspective

Most of us live mediocre in lifestyle. We live life thinking that acquiring more and more stuff will make us happy when in fact, the majority of us aren't so glad. That's just because we have such a narrow mindset that we only think about short-term gratification, which never involves long lasting fulfillment.

Self-improvement makes you become aware of who you are, who you want to become, and how you're going to do it. It helps you to gain a sense of direction in your life, which turns out to be really helpful when things get difficult. Also, your personal growth makes you think about life in a non-linear manner, which means that you'll be more inspired and wise when dealing with life, instead of living with no purpose, no direction, and most of all, no identity.

4. It brings fulfillement

When you're constantly working on yourself, you become so busy with yourself that you no longer have time to look at other people's flaws and defects. Every small goal that you attain is a small victory that brings fulfillment and satisfaction that will make you proud of who you are, because every time you accomplish something, you find yourself getting closer to the person you want to become.

3. It helps you to get to know yourself

If I asked you, 'do you know who you are?' you'll most likely look at me in a funny way :P but the fact is hat most people don't know the answer to the most basic questions about themselves. Most of us don't have a purpose, we blindly follow the crowd without ever thinking in terms of right and wrong, and we've totally lost any sense of individuality only so we can fit-in with others.

Self-improvement will help you to get to know yourself, because along the way, you'll set some goals that you strive to accomplish, you'll become more in touch with your authentic self, not the one that was brainwashed by society. You may be asking, what's the point? Well, why do you think you're having all you inner conflicts? It's because you don't know what you want in life, and that translates into a state of total confusion that manifests with having low self-esteem and confidence issues.

2. It boosts your confidence and self-esteem

If you're having confidence and/or self-esteem issues, then it's a must for you. Personal development will really elevate your self-assurance and your self-worth, and that's because when you see yourself constantly progressing and getting better, you'll start to see what you're really capable of doing.

The whole point of it is to make you a better person, and your confidence and self-esteem are really key ingredients to make it happen.

1. It makes you realize what you're truly capable of

We all have certain limiting beliefs, and believe it or not, most of them if not all are pure fiction. It may sound counter-intuitive, but what we believe as being a 'realistic expectation' is often a very small part of our full potential. It's our self-limiting beliefs that get in the way of our goals. When you're totally convinced that you can't do something, even the simplest thing, then you will be truly incapable of doing it, that's how hypnosis works.

Your belief system is a lot more powerful than you think, and you'll only start to realize that by stepping out of that mental box that you call 'possible' because even if it seems so real, it's just what you believe, not reality.
