- 10. The actual self is built on self- knowledge. Self-knowledge is derived from social interactions that provide insight into how others react to you. The actual self is who we actually are. It is how we think, how we feel, look, and act. The actual self can be seen by others, but because we have no way of truly knowing how others view us, the actual self is our self-image.
- 11. The ideal self, on the other hand, is how we want to be. It is an idealized image that we have developed over time, based on what we have learned and experienced. The ideal self could include components of what our parents have taught us, what we admire in others, what our society promotes, and what we think is in our best interest.

Editor's Notes
- Imagine yourself looking into a mirror. What do you see? Do you see your ideal self or your actual self?
- The actual self and the ideal self are two broad categories of self-concept.
- In other words, it connotes first the identification of the ideal self as separate from others, and second, it encompasses all the behaviors evaluated in the actual self that you engage in to reach the ideal self.
- The actual self is built on self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is derived from social interactions that provide insight into how others react to you. The actual self is who we actually are. It is how we think, how we feel, look, and act. The actual self can be seen by others, but because we have no way of truly knowing how others view us, the actual self is our self-image.
- The ideal self, on the other hand, is how we want to be. It is an idealized image that we have developed over time, based on what we have learned and experienced. The ideal self could include components of what our parents have taught us, what we admire in others, what our society promotes, and what we think is in our best interest.
- There is negotiation that exists between the two selves which is complex because there are numerous exchanges between the ideal and actual self. These exchanges are exemplified in social roles that are adjusted and readjusted, and are derived from outcomes of social interactions from infant to adult development. Alignment is important. If the way that I am (the actual self) is aligned with the way that I want to be (the ideal self), then I will feel a sense of mental well-being or peace of mind. If the way that I am is not aligned with how I want to be, the incongruence, or lack of alignment, will result in mental distress or anxiety. The greater the level of incongruence between the ideal self and real self, the greater the level of resulting distress. Personal development modules ultimate aim is greater self-knowledge that will lead to higher alignment between these two personality domains.
- Personal effectiveness means making use of all the personal resources – talents, skills, energy and time, to enable you to achieve life goals. Your knowledge of yourself and how you manage yourself impacts directly on your personal effectiveness. Being self-aware, making the most of your strengths, learning new skills and techniques and behavioral flexibility are all keys to improving your personal performance. Our personal effectiveness depends on our innate characteristics – talent and experience accumulated in the process of personal development. Talents first are needed to be identified and then developed to be used in a particular subject area (science, literature, sports, politics, etc.).
- Our personal effectiveness depends on our innate characteristics – talent and experience accumulated in the process of personal development. Talents first are needed to be identified and then developed to be used in a particular subject area (science, literature, sports, politics, etc.). 11 Experience includes knowledge and skills that we acquire in the process of cognitive and practical activities. Knowledge is required for setting goals, defining an action plan to achieve them and risk assessment. Skills also determine whether real actions are performed in accordance with the plan. If the same ability is used many times in the same situation, then it becomes a habit that runs automatically, subconsciously.
- skills that will 1. Determination. It allows you to focus only on achieving a specific goal without being distracted by less important things or spontaneous desires. It may be developed with the help of self-discipline exercise. 2. Self-confidence. It appears in the process of personal development, as a result of getting aware of yourself, your actions and their consequences. Selfconfidence is manifested in speech, appearance, dressing, gait, and physical condition. To develop it, you need to learn yourself and your capabilities, gain positive attitude and believe that by performing right actions and achieving right goals you will certainly reach success. 3. Persistence. It makes you keep moving forward regardless of emerging obstacles – problems, laziness, bad emotional state, etc. It reduces the costs of overcoming obstacles. It can also be developed with the help of self- discipline exercise. 4. Managing stress. It helps combat stress that arises in daily life from the environment and other people. Stress arises from the uncertainty in an unknown situation when a lack of information creates the risk of negative consequences of your actions. It increases efficiency in the actively changing environment. 5. Problem-solving skills. They help cope with the problems encountered with a lack of experience. It increases efficiency by adopting new ways of achieving goals when obtaining a new experience. 6. Creativity. It allows you to find extraordinary ways to carry out a specific action that no one has tried to use. It can lead to a decrease or an increase of costs, but usually the speed of action is greatly increased when using creative tools. 7. Generating ideas. It helps you achieve goals using new, original, unconventional ideas. Idea is a mental image of an object formed by the human mind, which can be changed before being implemented in the real world. For generating ideas you can use a method of mental maps, which allows you to materialize, visualize and scrutinize all your ideas, which in turn contributes to the emergence of new ideas. These are just some, but the most important personal effectiveness skills which make the achievement of any goal easier and less costly. greatly increase the efficiency of any person who owns them:
- 1. Other People Can Benefit From Them. Our gifts or talents are purposely created not just for ourselves but to help those around us. We benefit from other people’s talents. We benefit from Jobs’ Apple creations, Edison’s light bulb, Ford’s automotive ideas or our mom’s cooking. Almost everyone around us contribute to our welfare in one way or another. Now the interesting question is: How do other people benefit from our gifts or talents? Our gifts or talents are ours but they are not just there for us. They are given to be shared with others. There’s no sense of delight when we only want to serve ourselves. Sharing our talents with other people can create more lasting fulfillment. It is actually a win-win situation. We get to exercise our talent and other people on the other end receives a benefit from it.
- 2. Other Lives May Change Because of Our Talents. Sherry, a former-ballerina-turned-attorney, married Bob, who is likewise an attorney. They started a program in 1984 called “City Hearts: Kids Say Yes to the Arts”. They deeply believe in the potential and gifts of children who are trapped in the cycle of delinquency and poverty. They saw that using their talents is the first step to provide the appropriate avenue to transform and benefit these children. Their message is to find our path and put our talents to work. We may even change someone’s life just because we exercise our gift. It doesn’t need to be a huge one. Start small and someone out there will be inspired because of it.
- 3. Leads to a More Satisfying Life. Our gifts or talents are also considered our strengths. Gallup conducted a research on people who use their strengths every day and how it affects their performance and overall, their quality of life. Gallup found out that people who use their strengths and talents (something that comes naturally and can be enhanced through practice) every day are six times more likely to be engaged on the job. The key points they found in the research are as follows: 13 a. Improved Health and Wellness b. Experienced Less Worry, Stress, Anger, Sadness or Physical Pain c. Boost Their Positive Emotions d. More Energy to Face the Day e. Higher Engagement Level on the Task They also found out that building employees’ strengths is a far more effective approach to improving performance than trying to improve weaknesses. This means lots of people can benefit more if they use their talents and strengths every day.
- 4. We Can Make Money Out Of Them. Our talents can help us earn money. With proper development and use, they can even offer us richness beyond imagination — in all aspects of our lives. People are often unconscious about the kind of talent they have. If we are aware of something where we are really good at, we can start small and make money out of it. Maybe we can do a part-time hustle and we’ll be surprised on the learning we can have in the process. That’s what most successful people claim. They found what they are really good at and with constant use and practice, their gifts serve them well. Whether we are great in doing calligraphy, tinkering things, drawing or anything else, there is always an opportunity waiting for us.
- 5. Let’s Us Leave a Lasting Impression to People “If we want to leave a lasting imprint to people we encounter, use whatever we have to offer. These are our gifts and talents. “That moment of sharing without an agenda of getting a part wasn’t about the outcome but about the joy of touching others and giving unconditionally what was mine to give. And that brought with it a tremendous sense of fulfilment.”
- 6. Leads to Faster Growth and Development When a person positively monitors his performance and look for ways to improve his strengths, he will develop faster than focusing on his weaknesses. If we would like to improve vastly, start on where we are good at. We have nothing to lose because we already have them.
- 7. Show Appreciation to the Giver One thing I like about gift giving is the feeling I get when the receiver opens the gift and love it. But I like it best when I see that the person is using the gift. It makes me wanna give him/her more gifts next time. When we are using the talents given to us, we are opening more doors and windows for more gifts. Why is this so? Because it’s how the Law of God works. Whoever we believe in, when we 14 use the talents the Creator gave us, it shows that we appreciate His works. He will give us more opportunities to use them in return. Our talents are investments of God. If we don’t capitalize on them, they will never grow. We will lose the compounding interest where we and others can benefit from.
