“Personality” has become a commonly used word in our day-to-day lives. It is often wrongly defined by how a person looks, rather it’s more about how much a person has a positive attitude towards life and how well it can be maintained. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says “Personality is the one that people perceive.” The whole journey of life is from being somebody to becoming a nobody, and from being a nobody to being a part of everybody. If someone is stuck with the idea of personality, there is less scope for them to grow. Everything is changing. People change, and their ideas change. Let us acknowledge this basic fact. So, if you have judged, then even your judgement can change.
There are various methods through which one can learn about their personality style and work on improving it.
Here are five tips on how you can optimise your personality for Personality Development.
Five tips on how you can optimise your personality for Personality Development.
Purity in heart, clarity in mind and contentment is the formula for success
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
1) Accept yourself as you are.
The very first step is to accept yourself as you are and feel comfortable and confident in your skin. Our mind is always more focused on other people’s strengths and weaknesses. But we forget that we are unique. Just accept all your imperfections and perfections and move on.
There came a time when you were required on this planet and hence you were sent. Let us be the best we can be. Don’t miss yourself and let the world not miss you. In the history of the universe, there has been nobody like you and to the infinite of time to come, there will be no one like you.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Existence should have loved you so much that it broke the mould after making you so that another of your kind will never get repeated. You are original.
2) Being compassionate.
There are five different types of people.
First Type, There are those who are fun-loving, and full of enthusiasm in every society in every community. They don’t mind any obstacles, they dare obstacles. They get things done
Second Type, The second type of people are those who just maintain things. They are not go-getters, they are not innovators, they are not risk takers, but they just maintain the thing as it is. They are worried about how to maintain it. They very carefully tread the path. They take measured steps. Their steps are very careful, conventional, and traditional.
Third Type:The third type of people are those who want to bring transformation, who are drastic, who are rebellious, and who want to completely change things. They are good at demolishing things.
Fourth Type, The fourth type of people are those who are very brilliant. They have brilliant ideas. They are very creative.
Fifth Type, The fifth are the one who brings everyone together and has compassion. wherever there is a problem, they go and cement the gaps, solve the problems, and bring people together. They create a sense of belongingness. They are peacemakers. And when you choose to be the fifth category person then your personality becomes very pleasant.
There are proven studies that state being compassionate to your own self brings out various positive traits like happiness and positivity.
No two people are alike. Every person is unique and different from the others, and they have different behaviours, feelings and emotions. In the same way, they all possess different kinds of knowledge and different thoughts also. Some people’s feelings are very strong, and they are very emotional about everything around them. On the other hand, some people are natural thinkers. They think, weigh the pros and cons of everything and then act in a particular situation. Both of these are very important aspects of a person’s life, and both are necessary.
3) Stay enthusiastic and light-minded.
If you are light-minded from within it automatically reflects in your behaviour as well. One method to be minded is to not sit and analyse things too much. Learning to let go of negativity and forgiveness easily frees your mind from your own grudges and thoughts and helps you be more enthusiastic. Being enthusiastic makes your life happier and more joyful.
Life gives you both positive and negative. Focus on the good and move ahead with commitment.”
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
4) Meditation and Sudarshan kriya.
We are a bundle of joy and energy but most of us never use that enthusiastic energy beyond our childhood. Here is when the role of spirituality and meditation comes. Spirituality helps you to reduce our anxiety, fear, stress and worries. By regularly meditating and practising Sudarshan Kriya, you can be as positive a proton, add meaning to your life, handle your emotions better and face challenges like a lion in your life.
The goal of spirituality is to bring happiness, which nobody can take away from you
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
5) Be approachable
We all like people who are easily available for a quick talk or a quick walk. No one likes people with straightforward, long- sad faces. Be filled with so much love that it reflects in your personality and you have an everlasting smile on your face. Be available to help wherever possible.
The only way to be in love is to take it for granted that you are being loved. Once you do this, you will start blossoming
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
To improve your personality just accept yourself as you are and feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. Stay enthusiastic and light-minded. Let go of things which cannot be changed or controlled. Learn to meditate.

You may also choose to book a free introductory session with our teachers. Be like a positive proton, add meaning to your life, handle your emotions better and face challenges like a lion in your life. Be approachable and available to people around as much as you can. Everyone likes people who are friendly with everyone.
In the history of the universe, there has been nobody like you and to the infinity of time to come, there will be no one like you. You are original. You are rare. You are unique. Celebrate your uniqueness
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
