What is Self Development Matrix in individuals?
According to Islamic resources, the God has decided to create the world in order to His hidden potentials be known and revealed. These potentials of goodness and lovingkindness are classified in four major parts as: 1. Awareness, 2. Power, 3. Justice, 4. Mercy (here we replced the term of mercy with a new term, first used by Napeleon Hill, as Going extramile, which means giving others more than their rights on you or more than expected from you. This term including all meanings that we aim from Mercyfullness). These four concepts make the first principles of self development approach. Five pillars of Self Development: Human being is the most mature product of the creation, which take the responsibility of taking part in this duty (of revealing the hidden potentials). The God has given to human kind the free-will and inspired His spirit, and named the human being as His representative in the earth. This means that human beings has the infinit potentials inside theirselves and their main duty in this world is to discover and actualize these potentials all together, in such a way that all these potentials are reflected in their believes, cognitions, relationships and actions. To harmonize among these potentials and develop them in an integreated way, human beings have to consider in all their life the fact that they are discovering and actualizing the goodness of the God, so worship of God become the fifth characteristics of self development. So the five pillars of self development are: 1. Knowledge, 2. Power, 3. Justice, 4. Going Extramile, 5. Worship.
