It can be easy in life to be less than 100% truthful with ourselves when it comes to our actions. In a personal development endeavour this happens when you get 'faked out' and pretend to yourself that you're doing the right thing when you actually aren't. In the following article are some excellent ways to ensure you're not faking progress to yourself but, in fact, are moving forward with great strides.

One of the best ways to know for certain whether or not you're making improvements is to track it. Tracking can be done by making a chart so that you can have evidence in front of you which shows whether or not you're actually doing what you should be doing. If you've committed to a fitness regime in order to lose weight and decide to run for 30 minutes everyday then you can make a chart, pin it up on your wall and then you'll have records in front of you which show exactly what you have OR haven't done!

It is very important that you're truthful with yourself and don't try and deny reality and the facts. Some schools of thought in self development advise using affirmations in order to get your actions to improve but it's important not to mistake saying the affirmations for actually taking the necessary action to produce the desired result. Affirmations or no affirmations, you're going to have to take action if you want to achieve goals beyond what you've previously achieved.

Personal development at its best is a fantastic source of inspiration and wise advice, but, at its worst it can lead to delusion and people endlessly consuming material but never actually applying any of it. It's essential to evaluate the self help resources that you are using to improve your life and make sure they are full of solid principle which have worked for loads people for decades and aren't just hyped up nonsense which will leave you disappointed.

Be honest about the conditions you're faced with and the opportunites that are available. For example, if you are now 45 years old and just starting in business then to set a goal to get in the Forbes 100 Richest List would be a poor target and almost impossible. However,if you set a goal to take the company to seven figure in revenue within 5 years you'd have a target which was realistic but still very challenging and exciting.

It's a good idea to get a friend who's also setting goals and doing positive things with his/her life. If you can pair and help each other as well as monitoring each others' progress then it can be an extremely powerful influence on both of your lives. It's important in this sort of relationship that you don't let each other slip up and fall into bad habits.
