Each day the world is becoming more dynamic. The technological and information progress requires constant human personality development that allows for the growth of skills and abilities that assist individuals in adopting in this ever-dynamic world. Development constitutes the activities that an individual engages in that help develop talents and contribute to the achievement of dreams and aspirations. They are actions that influence a person’s entire life, and sometimes are not limited to personal or self-help but incorporate assistance from outside environments such as our parents, teachers, and friends. There are five critical areas of personal development that reflect on one's ability to perform well and achieve the desired goals. In this paper, we will carefully analyze these substantial areas, point out how they influence our success and how efficiently we can improve them for the ultimate good.

Personal development revolves around personal skills. These skills are not easily taught and have to be intrinsically explored by a person him/herself. It entails qualities and skills one already possesses or those acquired through training and education.

Besides, the chapter introduces the concept of Self Awareness that we will cover as a topic as we advance into Personal Development. Through this chapter, we would like to cultivate the spirit of Transformative, Visionary, and Personal Leadership, with the ability to engage the hand, mind, and heart in pursuit of a definite and worthy goal.
