My Personal Development Contract
I, _____________________________, take 100% ownership, accountability and responsibility for every area of my life. I acknowledge that my current position in life is a result of my own thoughts, feelings, and actions, and no one else’s. I confirm that I was thinking, feeling and acting to the best of my abilities at the time. I am ready to improve any area of my life where I have less than 100% satisfaction. I understand that this is a personal development journey that I am about to embark on. I expect that this journey will not be easy because there will be challenges and obstacles to face and overcome as I take risks, stretch and grow. I am prepared do the hard work required, and will commit to a lifelong journey of change and improvement, to do all that I can do to become the person I desire to be.
