Sense of direction
It improves your ability to prioritize and it makes decision-making easier.

Sense of urgency
It prompts you to act quickly when making decisions. It also drives hard work.
Urgency is all about getting results quickly and efficiently, but it does not eliminate assessment.
Sense of resilience
It provides you with the patience, awareness and fortitude to continue moving forward, even if that means completely changing course.
Sense of connectedness
Taking the path of personal development means you'll be able to see which relationships and partnerships bring value and are worth investing in and which you need to cut loose.
