Hey everybody, I'm coming to you from Greece today! This is a two part series on 10 Principles of Personal Development. It started when I was asked to speak at a leadership seminar on how I cultivate my personal life. Since then I have shared these in a number of venues. Now, I want to share them with you. Today we will touch on principles 1-5.

1. Understand that I am spiritually destitute and totally dependent on Christ. We all must come to the understanding that we live, move and have our being in Christ alone.
   
   
   
   • "Without Me, you can do nothing." John 15:5
   
   
   
   


2. My devotional life, must weigh as much as my public life.

3. Personal Development is all about consistency in the fundamentals. Personal development requires you to show up, everyday.


4. Put first things first. The most important part of your day must come first if you want to make the most of your time.
