The Purpose of Personal Development is quality of life.
The quality of my life is relative to my attainment of personal qualities.
The personal qualities that I attain are attributable to my Self.
The personal qualities that I attribute to my Self are emotional states of being.
When I consciously attribute an emotional state of being to my Self, I have attained an awareness of that emotion.
Attaining a conscious awareness of my emotional state of being that I attribute to my Self allows the development of my awareness and an awareness of my attainments.
Personal development occurs as I attain and choose a better state of being to attribute to my Self.
The better the attributes that I attain the more preferable the quality of life experienced.
The better the quality of life, the greater the personal development of attributes & attainments achieved.
