Let?s start this short article on self-improvement tips with a summary of how to go about improving (and developing) your self ? possibly the best self-improvement advice I could give you, in fact:
?The person who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.? ? Chinese proverb
It is true that, no matter where you find yourself, and no matter where you want to go, it is only by continually taking small steps that you can effectively progress further on your journey.
This is deceptively simple self-improvement advice. But powerful, nevertheless. There is always something you can do today to get you where you want to be tomorrow.
And your journey?s progress will always be smoother, always, if you take each step with a heart of gratitude. If you can accept what today offers you, even if it is ?less? than you would want from it, and if you can instead notice what you do get from this day, then your journey will be a happier one.
Practicing gratitude, like most things self-improvement, is easier said than done, but it is possible.
Perhaps the first step to take in being grateful is to stop and take notice of any of your friends, colleagues or family members who already do this. Model yourself on those people, and imagine how they would react to a certain situation.
By the way, it?s much better to surround yourself with the kind of person you want to be rather than the kind of person you don?t like being?
?Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.? ? Og Mandino
Indeed, Og, indeed.
Okay, some other areas of your life that you would benefit greatly from by improving (as would the people in your life) include:
* Anger Management
This doesn?t mean never being angry, nor does it mean being angry all the time. Instead it means a healthy expression of anger, as and when it occurs. Then forget it, and get on with life.
* Assertiveness
Again, this doesn?t mean always getting your way ? no matter the validity of the other person?s position. Instead, and much better, is to aim towards a mutual win-win situation where both parties have been heard, and both parties feel a fair outcome has been reached. Assertiveness is NOT about winning ? that is known as ?bullying?.
* Fear
There are so many fears in the world ? fear of success, fear of failure, fear of dying, fear of living, fear of commitment, fear of intimacy, fear of heights, fear of spiders? And whilst some of these fears may well be understandable, all of them are irrational, and do not serve any of us that well as we strive to lead full lives.
So overcoming these fears, at a deep level rather than at an intellectual level, WILL improve life?s possibilities for you.
Just got to get started, facing these fears, each and every day.
* Love
I bet you didn?t know that love is the opposite of fear.
Yes, a love for life, and how it flows, will always overcome a fear of life. A love for self ? the ?good bits? and the ?bad? ? will always create a person who can love others (and not fear them). A love of everything will always be more enjoyable than a fear of everything.
Love more, fear less, and BE more?
?
So let me finish this short self-improvement tips article, as I started it, with one of those self-improvement inspirational quotes you simply cannot argue with. Ruth Casey?s words are blunt, and to the point, as you?ll see, but never mind?
?It only takes one person to change your life ? you.? ? Ruth Casey
Yes, you are all you need to start improving your life today! And ain?t that a marvellous thing?
