A Warm Welcome!

Hello and a very warm welcome to my new blog. My name is Dwight and I’m here to share information with you about…… you guessed it; Self-development; yours and mine. Information about how we can make the most of our circumstances despite the obstacles that always seem to pop up and stunt our growth in some or all areas of our lives. About what’s really working for us ….. and what isn’t.

So why “The Self-Development Elephant? Well, I think Elephants are amazing animals and there's so much we could learn from them. I'll be sharing some of these things with you in the coming weeks and months.  

They say that Elephants never forget. There are things we’ve experienced in life that consciously we may have forgotten about, but they remain in our subconscious hard wiring and just seem come out of nowhere; controlling our behaviour at the most inappropriate of times. Same situation, same old reaction, even if it’s not the way we would have liked to react!

I’ve been interested in self-development from a very early age because at one time in my life I thought something was wrong with me and I wanted to change that. If you've ever felt that way and if you’re reading this I guess you developed more than a passing interest yourself at some stage in your life. I think at some level we’re all interested in having a better life for ourselves and our loved ones too; that feeling is a part of being human. Many of us are still looking for that magic bullet! 

I think someone once said "The more powerful the question, the better the solution" or maybe it was just me! Anyway, I had the thought that I’d like to explore what for me has made making progress so hard to do and it dawned on me that it might be a great thing if others who felt the same might come with me on this journey of self-discovery. If that’s you then why not keep leave a comment, or better yet sign up?
