These areas are (the list is in no way a comprehensive list, please feel free to add more areas/subareas to it). The list is taken mainly from Steve Pavlina's second podcast but it is changed a little bit.    1. Research and contribution: Development in this area means that you are contributing something original to the society and to the world and to your community. You are using your potential to make a difference to the world.    2. Mental knowledge and learning: Are you learning something new each day of the week and each week of the year? Development in this area excites you and keeps your mind lubricated. You remain open to new skills and keep pushing the envelope and stretching your mind.    3. Work, career and job: Improve your knowledge in the field you work in in order to do the job you want, have the opportunities you want, etc.    4. Financial matters: Gain more wealth while working less. Money management (mortgage, real estate, market, etc) is one of the many are working on.    5. Self help, character, spirituality and emotions: Become able to control your feelings, how you see others, your perceptions of the world. Develop your true self.    6. Physical health: Learn to exercice, to be able to maintain the motivation to do so.    7. Fun and adventure: Make your life more interesting by doing things you don't do generally. Do something people don't know you for.    8. Intimate relationship: Revive the old flame between you and your partner, develop your sensitive side, the place where you listen to your partner needs.    9. Home, family and relatives: Developing home abilities such as cooking, washing, cleaning. Learn how to make your family proud of you.   10. Social circle, friends and clubs: Learn how to create/develop long lasting relationships with your friends, how to approach people you don't know, to convey the message you want to send. http://www.articles.travelmycity.com/Self-Improvement/index.htm Your copyright information Many people believe that the art of flirting is something that you either have or you don’t.
