Personal development is a very important thing to strive towards. Try to come up with a goal. A good example would be to start saving money. This is important because you can learn to develop your impulse control. Start by saving when you would usually spend on things you do not need.

Do what you can to stop nagging people if that is a habit that you have. This does nothing but annoy everyone and it makes you appear both unprofessional and someone nobody wants to be around. If you need something done or something is not done correctly, speak nicely to the person and express what needs to happen. They’ll appreciate the kindness and will most likely try to fulfill your request because you did not irritate them by nagging.
Learn to tolerate other peoples’ discomfort with the word no. Everyone needs to say no to somethings. Otherwise, the other people in our lives will take as much of our time and resources as we have to give them. When someone hears no and reacts negatively, it’s more about them than you. If they persist, ask why they expect you to say no to your own family, health, goals, etc. just so you can say yes to them. Only say yes when it’s something you truly want.
Decide exactly how you want to live, and then do it. If we do not decide how we want our lives to go, we will end up doing something, but probably not what we really want to be doing. Other things and outside people can interfere and make the decision for us. Be true to your inner self and constantly seek that which you want to do, then do it.
