Creative visualization of personal

31 development through the various

stages that you went through

We are now in the last module of our subject. At this point, this module will help
you construct a creative visualization of your personal development as you go through
with different stages of adolescence and the stage of choosing a career. We will also be
focusing on the people who might be a source of your stress in decision making and/or
could be an influence in your career planning who in one way or another are also your
source of strengths in analyzing the right path you want to take.
Personal development is a long process. The influence of your family, school,
church, and community in your early life development doesn’t stop there. From the time
you reached your adolescence stage, challenges will come along your way and one of
these is choosing career and setting your life goals. As you are preparing yourself in
adulthood, making decisions will definitely affect your plan in the future.

What’s In

In the previous lesson, you understood that personal development is a long

process of assessing your skills and qualities. Empowering and honing these
characteristics will surely help you to choose a right decision for your future. By
identifying the components that affect you, achieving your personal development will be
easier for you to plan your career and set your life goals for the future.
The diagram below will help you to determine the factors that affect your career
decision making.

development. It is a process involving many various stages and it’s comprises different
events, including challenges and adversities. People around you is also a big factor

inspiration, though, sometimes can also be a stressor. These factors contribute to the

What is It

What influences Personal Development?

The following are some factors that influence you as you go through the
different stages of personal development.

Culture. It refers to the shared values, beliefs, and norms of a specific group
of people. The culture in which you live is an important factor that forms your personal
development. Culture influences the manner we learn, the decision we make, and the
behavior we project.
Gender, Beliefs, and Behavior. Greenwood, 2017 cited in the “Child Psychology:
A Contemporary Viewpoint Updated,” children learn values, motives, and behaviors
from their parents and the culture within which they live. This includes their beliefs
about gender. The author notes that typical male behavior expectations are
independence, assertion. and competitiveness, while girls are expected to be passive,
sensitive. and supportive.
Economic and social conditions. This includes income, education, community safety,
and social supports. These factors may influence the formation of personal development,
but economic status of a family does not define the character of a person. You can be
whoever you want to be in spite of the financial condition of a family.

Who influences Personal Development?

Family always takes the big part in forming of one’s personal development.
Parents are expected to accept you and bring you up the best way they could. You
learned to look up to them and tend to your source of inspiration in life. Your siblings
also help you to overcome challenges and support your decision-making.

7
 Peers offer the opportunity to develop social skills such as empathy, sharing, and
leadership. During adolescence, you started to make friends with others wanted the
feeling of belongingness in a group. According to the article of Boundless “Cultural and
Societal Influences on Adolescent Development” Peer groups can have positive
influences to an individual, such as academic motivation performance; however, they
can also have negative influences, such as peer pressure to engage in drug use,
drinking, vandalism, stealing, or other risky behavior. Susceptibility to peer pressure
increases during early adolescence, and while peers may facilitate positive social
development for one another, they may also hinder it.

How stressors affect Personal Development?

Stressors is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as stimulus that cause

stress. It is the reaction of our body when you feel the emotional and mental tension.
The demand of the world causes as pressure and anxiety. Challenges never stops even
you reach the last stage of human development.
Stressors are a part of human life. It is said that our body is designed to react to
stress in order to protect our body against threats. However, when stressors affect your
mental health and you can no longer function normally, this becomes a threat.
Personal Development in Decision Making for Career Planning

The journey in the different stages of personal development is not easy, as we

have discussed earlier. It may serve as your guide now that you are entering in another
new phase of your life, which is preparation for your future. This is the time that you
are going to make decisions on what career you want to take since there are a lot of
factors that you need to consider.

Personal development, as we have discussed many times in other modules, helps

you set goals and expectations for yourself. Any individual without a vision in life not
only fails to deliver but also gets easily lost in the crowd. It is important to set
expectations for yourself. There is a scope of improvement always. Never settle and never
cease to better yourself.

Personality development is not only about changes in traits but also about
changes in other layers of the self. Forming one's identity is thought to be the key to
achieve life goals. Career setting is the first step to achieve life goals. It is important to
prepare yourself in the process of decision-making, because your future relies on this.
Career choice is a big challenge for student like you because of the factors that influence
your decision making and the stressors that interplay in choosing the right decision.

The article “Steps in Personal Development Planning Process” by Prachi Juneja,

various steps in the whole process of personal development planning were stated:

1. Know your goals and aspirations in life. Define your goals, whether they are
short-term goals or long-term goals. Remember, goals need to be realistic. Write
your goal on a piece of paper. You need to be very clear and confident about it.
Be honest to yourself.
2. Do a SWOT analysis of yourself. Understand your strengths. There are very few
people who actually know their weaknesses and areas of improvement. Sit and
jot down what all new things you would like to learn which would eventually help
in your career.

8
 3. Understand what would be the best available option. You must be ready that
you cannot get all the things you want. If the first option didn’t work-out at least
you prepared yourself for the second option.
4. Look at the positive and the negative side. Learn to weigh your decision. What
would be the effect and what might the result. This would help you choose the
right decision.
5. Be patient enough. This may be a cliché that patience is a virtue, but having a
long patience always results the positive feedback. Always give your hundred
percent to whatever you do because anything you work half-hearted result
negative feedback.
6. Do not get demotivated if the results are not positive at the first attempt. You
need to give yourself some time.

In the research of Asma Shahid Kazi, Abeeda Akhlaq, entitled “Factors Affecting
Students’ Career Choice”, the author stated some factors that influence the decision
making for career planning:

Parents pre-determine the career for

their child and only serve to steer them in
Parent's role that direction. Likewise, that that parent's
education has been proven as factor
influencing career choice of their child.

Socioeconomic backgrounds made a wrong

decision, and chose professions which
Socioeconomic required a short of duration of training
primarily because of financial constraints

Students prefer a job which will give

High paying job them better opportunity and high paying
salary.

Global Some students’ preferences in choosing a

career depends on the opportunity
Opportunity abroad.

Career choice may also depend on the

academic achievements or performance. A
Academic student who did well in school has a
Performance better opportunity than those who
struggled in their studies.

An important factor in determining

Different students' career choice is the school to
which they belong. School has a to
Curriculum provide accurate curriculum program and
options accurate guidance for the students.
