Self Improvement and Success
Everything that happens to us happens for a purpose. One thing always leads to another. Instead of crying over past heartaches and failures, treat them as your teachers, and they will become your tools in both self improvement and success.
I remember watching Patch Adams – its my favorite movie, actually. Its one great film that will help you improve yourself. Hunter “patch” Adams is a medical student who failed to make it through the board exams. After months of suffering in melancholy, depression and suicidal attempts – he decided to seek for medical attention and voluntarily admitted himself in a psychiatric ward. His months of stay in the hospital led him to meeting different kinds of people. Sick people in that matter. He met a catatonic, a mentally retarded, a schizophrenic and so on. Patch found ways of treating his own ailment and finally realized he has to get back on track. He woke up one morning realizing that after all the failure and pains he has gone through, he still wanted to become a doctor. He carried within himself a positive attitude that brought him self improvement and success. He didn’t only improved himself, but also the life of the people around him and the quality of life. Did he succeed? Needless to say, he became the best damn doctor his country has ever known.
So, when does self improvement become synonymous with success? Where do we start? Take these tips and use them to improve yourself to become successful.
First thing; Stop thinking and feeling as if you’re a failure, because what you think is what you get. How can others accept you, if YOU can’t accept YOU?
When you see hunks and models on TV, think more on self improvement, not self pitying. Do you want to look like them? Is that what it will take for you to like yourself? Then start exercising and learning. Self acceptance is not just about having nice slender legs, or great abs. Concentrate on inner beauty.
When people feel so down and low about themselves, help them move up. Don’t go down with them. Talk about plans and how to make your dreams come true. Don’t talk about other people and their supposed faults. They’ll pull you down further and both of you will end up feeling inferior.
The world is a large room for lessons, not mistakes. Don’t feel stupid and doomed forever just because you failed once. There’s always a next time. Make rooms for self improvement, learn that you will always be tested and once you pass that test, the next one will be waiting.
Take things one at a time. Start with small goals and work towards bigger ones a little at a time. Mother nature took a long time to turn beaches from rocks to sand. It will take you a little while to turn around your bad behavior. Self improvement is a one day at a time process.
Self improvement results to inner stability, personality development and dig this …. SUCCESS. It comes from self confidence, self appreciation and self esteem. The more successful you are the more confident you become. The more confident you are the more successful you become.
Set meaningful and achievable goals. Self improvement doesn’t turn you to be the exact replica of somebody else. It can’t, those people are already taken. Self improvement hopes and aims to result in an improved and better YOU.
Little things mean alot to other people. Sometimes, we don’t realize that the little things that we do like a pat on the back, saying “hi” or “hello”, greeting someone “good day” or telling Mr. Smith something like “hey, I love your tie!” are simple things that mean so much to other people. When we’re being appreciative about beautiful things around us and other people, we also become beautiful to them. Give compliments freely, their easy to give and you get so much in return.
When you’re willing to accept change and go through the process of self improvement, it doesn’t mean that everyone else is. The world is a place where people of different values and attitude hang out. Sometimes, even if you think you and your best friend always like to do the same thing together at the same time, she would most likely decline an invitation for self improvement.
You should always remember that there is no such thing as an over night success. Its always a wonderful feeling to hold on to the things that you already have now, realizing that those are just one of the things you once wished for.
A very nice quote says that “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” We are all here to learn our lessons. Our parents, school teachers, friends, colleagues, officemates, neighbors, etc. etc. etc. they are our teachers. When we open our doors for self improvement, we increase our chances to head to the road of success.
Remember one thing leads to another. How do you climb a mountain? One step at a time.
Be Blessed
