Self Improvement: Where to Focus

-

It may seem a bit obvious, but the first focus of self improvement should be on oneself. As obvious as that may sound, very few people actually understand what this means. If everyone understood this simple concept, this world would have many more outstanding citizens.

Self improvement begins with you. You must focus on the heart of your ability. This heart is in your will. Your focus in self improvement should be mainly on your will. 

Your will is what guides your thoughts and actions. Your will sets your aims, your goals. Without your will, you would be lost. Without a strong will, you are weak. Without a focused will, you are clueless.

The focus of your will should be on your greatest goals. Once you align your will with your greatest goals, you are able to center your self improvement on the right areas. Your self improvement should be centered around the areas most needed to get what you want in life.

The beginning of self improvement is always in self esteem. You must love yourself as you are for what you can become. You have goals. You have dreams. Even if you are not sure how to make your greatest dreams a reality, you can take some comfort in knowing that they could one day be your life.

This possibility is the potential that you hold within yourself. But the reality is that you hold potential beyond your wildest imagination. As your life progresses, you will learn more and more about your potential. If you keep moving forward, the potential will grow by leaps and bounds.

Being optimistic about your potential is the only way to realize the greatness waiting for you in the future. This optimism is actually quite realistic, for it all lies within your will. The ability is there. It is just a matter of aligning your will with your goals and taking the necessary steps to bridge the gap from where you presently stand.

With your will aligned with your goals, you set the stage for your ultimate self improvement. It may take some creativity and imagination, but the steps are there for you to draw in. You must build your own life the way in which you envision it.

This is the beauty of life. This is what makes self improvement such a powerful force. Align your will with your goals and see your life rise to new powerful heights.

Are You Stuck? Consider Changing Your Focus!

If you sometimes feel as though you’re caught in life’s quicksand, you have a lot of company. We work, we struggle, we try to do everything we possibly can to move on to a higher level of well-being but it seems like the harder we work, the more stuck we get. If you’re approaching a Category 5 frustration level, you might give this a try… Switch your focus from that really nice – but frustrated – person in the mirror to one or more of the other folks who inhabit this good earth. I realize that it’s important to watch out for number one – ourselves. We need to set goals, lay out plans and then do those things we need to do so that we can at least make some progress toward our goals. We need to demonstrate personal financial responsibility, plan for retirement and frequently just cover our backside so it doesn’t get chewed off by one or more of life’s rodents. However, what frequently happens is that we become so over-focused on ourselves and our own personal well-being that we wind ...

Good news: from getting organized to maximizing your time, there are some easy ways to stay focused and achieve your goals. What Areas Need the Most Work? Watching a reality TV show may be more entertaining than cleaning the bathroom or folding the laundry, but it won't keep your home from becoming a biohazard. Establishing and sticking to priorities will help you spend less time worrying about what needs to be done and more time accomplishing your goals. Consider using Sunday evenings, when you normally mourn the end of the weekend, to go over weekly goals and priorities. This is a great way to stay focused on what you want to accomplish without getting ahead of yourself. Cut Out the Junk If you're like most people, you keep possessions well beyond their usefulness. When your white clothes start turning yellow, or you find boxes and boxes that you can’t even remember what is inside, then it’s time to get rid of some items. Consider selling old appliances, c...

Do What You Love To Do

What do you want to be when you grow up? I’m sure you were asked this question at least once when you were young. When asked the question, did you have an answer ready, or did you need a few minutes to think about it? We all had dreams of becoming something great, like a lawyer, a teacher, or a movie star, just to name a few. Well, how did you do? Maybe you never aspired to be what you set out to be or said that you would become. But then again, things change. The older we get, our tastes change, our view of the world changes, even our ambitions change. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned during my career path is to do something you love to do. Why is this important? I feel that if you enjoy what you make a living at, you end up being happy in more ways than one. Life itself becomes much more interesting and fun. You find yourself speaking passionately to others about your work. The experiences you have along the way become much more rewarding and enrich your life in many wa...
