Personality development is a farce, since their is no person present that needs any development. What is there is only you, only life, here and now. The person is nothing but the cravings and hankerings of thoughts, which seeks for outside comforts to give a false sense of security and happiness. Don't focus on development of that person, instead aim to dismantle and dissolve all layers of the so called personalities to eventually destroy the person!
A person is nothing but the smoke which is left after your emotions and desire ignite, and you try to se your face in it after struggling to keep the fire on. But neither the fire nor the smoke stay there for a long time. The moment the fire of your so called passion and desire subsides the smoke also goes away. And you feel dejected and low finding life dull and boring unless you feel that rush of passion and chaos in your mind and body. You again try to create the same smoke by igniting more and more desires and dreams to feel the high of living a “happening” life(BTW there are two kind of Happening Life- one in which things happen to you all the time and second where you choose to make things happen all the time, choice is yours!) and in pursuit of so happiness in the outside world. But again the fire is their for some time along with the smoke. You see some smoky image of yourself in that smoke feel good about it, and then again it disappears, leaving you hurt and miserable. And this cycle keeps on continuing, as long as you identify your existence with the image in the smoke. It gives you a false sense of comfort and worth of being someone and something, of being capable, of being loved and being deserving, by doing something to gain approval of others or yourself.
You are not in that smoke and neither is your existence like it; temporary and relative. The smoke is just their to help you guide up to your real destination of who you are. But all what you are concerned is only playing foolishly with the smoke and end up living a suffocated and hazy life full of sufferings, sorrow, and total lack of clarity. Go behind the smoke, find out the fuel which ignites the fire and creates the smoke. Go to the root of it. You shall find that the fuel for this smoky person you call yourself is nothing but your own flawed thoughts and beliefs about yourself and the reality. Once you are able to dispose off that fuel which you have been creating and storing in form of your beliefs, you will be able to slowly get to know about your self in a better way, that you are not a person which you and others consider yourself to be. Instead you are the one who is the maker and creator of that person and were just fooled by the falsity of the image which was projected to you. You took it to be real, which in fact is totally unreal and temporary, changing on moment to moment basis.
The person is just a mask (In fact the word person has come from Latin word persona which means mask. In earlier days during some plays actors use to wear some kind of mask during the play on stage to hide their identity hence the name).So remove the mask and be bold and ferales to be who your are.
So if you are not a person you should not really care about decorating and developing your so called personality to impress others(If the body does not exist then on what are you going to put the clothes on). There are no persons to impress. You just are fooling with yourself and having a fancy dream. Wake up from it and start living life every moment instead of only planning to avoid death and sufferings.
Also do not split your life and yourself into personal, social, family, friends etc kind of classes and suffer in multiples. You can divide your responsibilities towards each aspect of your life, but be the same individual who you are with the same life which is whole, one and not capable of further division (In-Divisible!). You who are an “Individual” essence of the universe which is one complete and unique in its own perfect sense and all absorbed within it, and not a person who need multiple personalities to exist and hence, always keeps on struggling to survive.
Always in you faith,
love peace joy blessings
