People must be very deliberate on the path to PD, for example engaging in reading, curating the content you consume on your phone and via the media, exploring coaching, setting the right boundaries and generally being conscious about how they live their lives. 


  • Jessie says that "the world does not just happen to us, but through us"  As human beings, we all want value and to experience a better life, we must also reciprocate value and to do so we must engage in personal development.
