Personal Development With Purpose
Unleash Your Power With Personal Development
Personal development really is a journey of self discovery. Of finding out who you are, what you want, and having the courage to go out and get it.
Personal development is an inward adventure and outward expression.
The purpose of this site was to create a place for people to discover themselves.
To explore their potential.
To stumble upon that key insight, word, or quote that can transform a life.
Some of the key areas of focus for our personal development and self growth journey will be:
- Discovering and accepting your life purpose
- Achieving financial stability
- Developing strong relationships
- Finding inspiration through the works of others
- Building and strengthening your self confidence
- Energizing and motivating you to succeed
- Finally become fearless
- How to learn to love and live with awareness
You were born to express the talents and gifts that you possess within you. There’s no one else like you on this planet and there will never be anyone like you again. It’s time to embrace your power and share your potential.
Personal Development isn’t easy. It’s not hard either. It’s just a process. One where you begin to take 100% responsibility for yourself and your life. That means your whole life: your state of mind, your health, your finances, your habits, your relationships, your emotions and more.
This site will help make your personal development quest a little smoother. Just a little bit easier. Life doesn’t have to be a constant struggle.
True personal development isn’t about quick fixes and patch jobs. Self growth and discovery takes time, patience, persistence, humility, humor, and a good dose of love. Not only for yourself, but for your friends, colleagues, neighbors and really all the world. I don’t mean to sound cheesy but it’s true.
This site is a conversation. Between me and you. Between all the people that visit here each month. The more we engage the more we’re engaged. Present to the presence. Aware of our awareness. Anchoring into our lives a new way of being, seeing and doing. With every word read, thought about, and tested we can discover our own personal truths. So make sure to join the conversation and leave me comments and suggestions whenever you can.
So Where To Begin Your Personal Development Journey?
This site is is getting ready to celebrate it’s first birthday soon and there’s already tons of personal development material for you to choose from. The last year for me brought about some of the greatest personal revelations that I’ve ever experienced and some of the best writing that I’ve ever done.
I’ve broken down the articles on this starting point list into three main categories:
- Personal Development
- Inspiration and Motivation
- Law of Attraction
So with that in mind, here’s my recommended places to start for your personal development journey:
Personal Development Articles
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: The 4 Tenets
ONENESS – “We have Connection”
Everything and every single person is One with all things, each other and the very source of existence.
LAW – “We have Potential”
Our Consciousness creates creation. What we think about we bring about.
TRUTH – “We have Purpose.”
We all have our unique voice. Our voice is part of a collective song. True happiness will only come when we sing our song for the benefit of others.
PRESENCE – “We have Power.”
Presence is present in this very moment. Now is the moment of our being. This is where the power is. When we live in the present moment time melts away and our brilliant essence shines forth in all existence.

Ian has over ten years experience in the health and wellness industry as both a healer and teacher. He has been initiated by the Dali Lama and has studied in James Twyman’s seminary for spiritual peace making. He is a Certified Acupuncturist and Hands On Healer. He has taught workshops for the Learning Annex and has trained the biggest massage and aesthetic departments in Canada at Toronto’s largest day spa.
His studies in Feng Shui helped him to realize and understand the relationship that we all have to the environments we live in. As well, being a Buddhist has enabled him to understand the workings of the mind and it’s role in a persons life and their overall healing journey.
He has come to realize through experience the wisdom of Osho’s saying:
“A butterfly cannot prove to the caterpillar that it can become a butterfly.
That is impossible.
All the butterfly can do is provoke a sense of longing.
That is possible.”
In turn, he stepped away from a promising private practice to study and understand the full needs of the individual. He sought out a plan of action where he could do the most good in the world and empower people to live fully awakened lives.
Ian has overcome many difficulties in life including being diagnosed with Manic Depression/Bi-Polar disorder. His doctors had told him that he would be on mood stabilizers and anti-psychotic medications for the rest of his life. Not taking to heart their hopeless claims he was able to become medication free through a daily regimen of meditation, nutrition, and exercise. Check out how he did it in his inspirational and informative e-book on the Bipolar Disorder Information page.
Ian is thirty-five years young and is a fresh new face within the non-fiction world. He is a new husband and even newer father and is eager to learn, grow and love.
Ian has dedicated his life to using his talents to help people to heal, grow and to inspire them to awaken the dreams that sleep within their hearts.
