Focus on Self Development,  Not Self-Fulfillment

• Self-fulfillment means doing what I enjoy most and will receive the most strokes for doing.

• Self-development means doing what I am talented and uniquely fit to do, and that becomes my responsibility.

• Self-fulfillment thinks of how something serves me.

• Self-development thinks of how something helps me to serve others.

• With self-fulfillment, feeling good is the product.

• With self-development, feeling good is the by-product.
