Holistic Personal Development As a later born baby boomer, it's no surprise I was into holistic personal development, and... sprouts and tofu! I was a bit of an enigma as a young vegetarian in the middle of cattle country, and my father always made jokes about the appearance of my sloppy veggie casseroles. :)The embroidered peace symbols on my jeans told the story of my heart... oh how I wanted the world to get along. My high school year book noted my favorite quote, 'live and let live'. Through my teen years I was passionate about discovering the philosophic truth of what we are doing here on earth, and how best to live in this world. I searched the bible, through texts of eastern philosophies, learned meditation and yoga,... hoping somewhere to find solutions to this puzzle of life. I felt sure that the answers to life's big questions were available, yet I couldn't seem to find anything that spelled them out for me in some simple form that satisfied all my questions. As the years passed it became apparent to me that the solutions are rarely spelled out in simple form. Life and learning requires living and experience. I now see that my whole life journey is one of holistic personal development, as I believe everyone's is. It always has been and always will be an ongoing discovery for each of us, touching on all dimensions of our human experience:
There are lots of various ways to group these dimensions of self development, and you've probably also seen them broken down into groups such as:
Personal Development FoundationOn leaving home and stepping out into the big wide world, discovering the secrets of life became my priority. I prayed, listened, studied, and traveled. I was driven to make some sort of sense of this experience. I wanted answers. One by one, the answers have been coming.The first answer was revealed within a few years. I had questioned and challenged life enough to become sure of one thing. Yes, you can laugh... one thing might not seem like a lot. But it was a foundation stone. I realized it was the basis for all holistic personal development to build upon.
That one sure thing is that Building upon this, a monomyth story (the archetypal hero's journey) was born. It witnesses the dynamic power of love and our interconnectedness with all of life. This short inspirational story serves as one of my primary 'transformational touchstones', a reference for how I am living my life in line with my highest vision. My upcoming book 'YOU are the WIND' incorporates the monomyth into it's portrayal of the outstanding positive impact each of us are capable of bringing into the world. Through living your highest life purpose, 'YOU are the WIND' of positive change. Personal Mission DevelopmentMy personal mission development continues to focus on learning and integrating universal life laws. My aim through holistic personal development is to become the highest, most life supporting version of Cathy Johnson Campbell that I can be, and to help others who also want to explore and develop their potential.My hunger to contribute more to the world continues to encourage me to develop in various ways, and to share information that I find valuable. These avenues include:
Holistic Personal Development and EvolutionMy vision for the world, and that of my own positive potential, continues to evolve as experience and new discoveries shine light into the previously unknown.Peace and love are at the core of my focus, and that core lays inside each of us. As the sages have professed through the ages, "peace must begin within". From there it ripples out, ultimately affecting the whole. As we move forward individually and communally, we are sharing the experience and wonders of our vast potential. With each wave or our own holistic personal development, we raise the tide of evolution that bit higher. As we grow, humanity grows. Cathy Johnson Campbell Formal Qualifications:
