Self improvement and Success

2015-06-04T00:10:00.000+08:00

Self improvement and success go hand in hand

How do you know if a person is willing to achieve self-improvement? This is a question no definite answer. It will depend on the individual.

Many people have goals, dreams and ambitions, but do not know how you get to go. You can about what would have thought himself and the improvement of their ideal life, but have no idea how to even begin to make plans and take the necessary steps to realize them.

Some people have a vague idea of how to go about herself improvement. These are those who believe that if they only had a job or had improved, or the love of her life, or whatever, now would be wonderful and fulfilled all they were happy.

They feel that their happiness or lack of happiness on external factors and their thoughts and actions will be decided, are of minor importance.

Some believe that if only they had more money, what they want and will be improved on their way to independence.

You may have spent very little time to think about what they really want out of life, and do not really believe that all they can do to create their fuzzy version of utopia anyway, apart from my more lottery tickets.

Other people do not know what they want from their lives and may even have little idea what really makes them happy. They seem to just drift from day to day, from week to week, month by month and year to year, and not much more than just get by.

Perhaps they have seemingly secure jobs and earn enough to lead a relatively comfortable life. They seem happy and have no great ambition to achieve something in their lives than they currently have.

Understood the importance of self-improvement?

The reality is that throughout our lives we are all constantly growing and evolving. Circumstances make us grow and evolve, even if we do not make the conscious decision to do so.

Up to a certain age, we learn through formal education, and we continue to learn about our experiences for the rest of our lives. We need to learn and grow to deal with everything that life throws our focus. We all have to go through self improvement.

Modern life moves at a dramatically faster than ever before in history. For all who are in the modern society are more opportunities to do to everything you do with your life than ever before.

But there is more competition than ever, and ever-changing technology means that there are really few, if any 'jobs for life "anymore. It is now normal to change not only their jobs quite often throughout our working lives, but even completely change careers and industries.

Since the workplace is so competitive, people who are ambitious and hungry for success know they need to learn new skills and knowledge to keep in front of the pack. To achieve this, self improvement is needed.

These are the people that most likely will stick to their jobs or to advance in their chosen field, or will be easy to employability in different organizations or industries.

A commitment to self improvement and personal growth well be the deciding factor, as will emerge in the future.

Never Give Up!

2010-07-14T00:31:00.000+08:00

Never Give Up!

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

There is no doubt that there are certain moments in life when you feel helpless and disoriented and believe you could use some self improvement advice in order to figure out how to proceed with your life.

The answer is never simple. However, there is one self improvement advice that can be of great help and employed regularly will have great results.

It is called meditation and it has been used for centuries in certain rituals and by ancients civilizations. Even in old and famous books, like the Bible, people are invited to meditate, to discover and fight the evil in us and by knowledge to gain control over our decisions and our lives.

How do we proceed when meditating?

First of all, you need to be away from any source of distraction. You cannot analyze your deepest feelings and thoughts and watch a movie at the same time.

Secondly, you need to ask yourself a series of questions that will help you to better determine who you really are. The questions should relate to everyday aspects.

What do you like doing?

What made you most proud of yourself during your entire life?

What is it that you always wanted to do and you never found the time?

What role does money play in your life?

What is it more important for you, you family life or your career?

How much do you depend on others?

If you are worried about a certain decision, let all the questions be related to that issue. If you are just confused when asking the questions, think about the common topics that one has to deal with during his life.

Do not forget to write down the answers. Try to concentrate and to be sincere. After all, nobody will judge you.

All these questions will help you determine exactly where you stand and what is it that you want form life. All you have to do is to get the right interpretation of your own replies.

In order to do that, help yourself to a coup of tea or your favorite coffee and take the time to analyze them thoroughly. Mark with a red pen whatever you find pride worthy answers and with a black one the things that do not make you proud.

Post the list somewhere where you can see it more than once a day, or post it in more than one place.

You will notice that, step by step, even unwillingly, the black things on your list will start turning red. Do not forget to renew the list when most of it has turned red! It is the best way to always be aware what your expectations from life are.

Take this simple self improvement advice and see the positive results for yourself.

The Dream of Endless Envy

2010-06-04T00:23:00.000+08:00

The Dream of Endless Envy

There was a stonecutter who saw a rich man.
Envious of his wealth, he suddenly became the rich man.
As he was travelling in his carriage, it had to stop to let an official go first.
Envious of his status, he suddenly became the official.
As he travelled on, he felt hot from the heat of the sun.
Envious of its glory, he suddenly became the sun.
As he was shining on, a huge dark cloud covered him.
Envious, he suddenly became the cloud.
As he was floating in the sky, the wind pushed him along.
Envious of its power, he suddenly became the wind.
As he was drifting on, he was forced to go around a mountain.
Envious of its strength, he suddenly became the mountain.
As he was sitting satisfied, he felt something chipping him.
Shocked, he suddenly awoke to be the stonecutter he was.
It had all been part of an enlightening dream.

Is Your Love True

Is Your Love True?

A Queen was looking through the palace window at the Buddha walking for alms food in the city. The King saw her and grew jealous of her devotion to the Great Monk. He confronted the Queen and demanded to know who she loved most, the Buddha or her husband? She was a devoted disciple of the Buddha, but in those days you had to be very careful if your husband was the King. Losing your head means losing your head. She kept her head and replied with searing honesty, 'I love myself more than both of you.'
The trouble with romance is that when the fantasy is broken, the disappointment can badly hurt us. In romantic love, we don't really love our partner, we only love the way they make us feel. It is the 'high' we feel in their presence that we love... Like any 'high'. it wears out after a while.

True love is selfless love. We are concerned only for the other person. We tell them, 'The door of my heart will always be open to you, whatever you do', and we mean it. We just want them to be happy. True love is rare. Many of us like to think that our special relationship is true love, not romantic love. Here is a test for you to discover what type of love it is.

Think of your partner. Picture them in your mind. Recall the day you came together and the wonderful times you have enjoyed ever since. Now imagine receiving a letter from your partner. It tells you they have fallen deeply in love with your best friend, and the two of them have run away to live together. How would you feel? If it were true love, you woukd be thrilled that your partner has found someone even better than you, and is now even more happy. You could be delighted that your partner and best friend were having such a good time together. You'd be ecstatic that they were in love. Isn't your partner's happiness the most important thing in true love? True love is rare.
- Opening the Door of Your Heart (Ajahn Brahm)

Determine your life width and depth

2008-06-24T23:31:00.000+08:00

“You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.”

Life is unpredictable. No one knows when his or her time is up.
We, however, can focus on what's going on with our life every moment. Not living in the past or keep looking at the future. Stay present. Stretch our boundaries, work outside our comfort zones and try something new. There will be bumps and paths that leads into dead ends. These are part and parcel of life. How we deal with them determine our path. We have a choice. Always, and we choose.
