The importance of Self Improvement

SELF IMPROVEMENT

Everything that happens to us happens in purpose. And sometimes, one thing leads to another. Instead of locking yourself up in your cage of fears and crying over past heartaches, embarrassment 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.

It's 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 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 for that matter. He met  someone in a catatonic state, a mentally retarded person, 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 pain he had gone through, he still wanted to become a doctor.

He carries a positive attitude that's brought him self improvement and success.

He didn't only improved himself, but also the lives of the people around him.

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?

Here's some tips...

*Stop thinking and feeling as if you're a failure, because you're not. 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. 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. 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 on a science quiz. There's always a next time. Make room for self improvement. *Take things one day at a time. You don't expect black sheep's to be goody-two-shoes in just a snap of a finger. Self improvement is a one day at a time process.
*Self improvement results in inner stability, personality development and ultimately SUCCESS. It comes from self confidence, self worth and self esteem.
* Set meaningful and achievable goals. Self improvement doesn't turn you into the exact replica of Cameron Diaz or Ralph Fiennes. It hopes and aims to result in a new and improved YOU.
*Little things mean BIG 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 with a good day or complimenting someone on their tie...these are simple things that mean so much to other people. When we're being focusing on the good that's what we end up attracting more of. *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 attitudes hang out. We should always remember that there's no such thing as 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...
"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

Be the best version of you and live the life you deserve.

Here's to your success,
