Hi! This is a really quick blog about my thoughts on personal improvement, tirelessly striving to be better, and my quick tips to achieve this.
I think that the term ‘Personal Improvement‘ means very different things to different people, some of these being positive and some negative.
Unfortunately, some people do not see the power of dreaming big and setting goals, some even think that it’s a stupid idea to engage in ‘self help’ and have other people tell you how to be successful, or how to be happy.
Personally, I believe very deeply in the mantra of “I can be better”, which to me means that I’m happy with my life as it is right now, but I know that I can always and will always be able to be better; it just takes consistent effort and a clear goal of the person that you want to be.
My wife Danielle is of the thought process of “loving yourself as you are”, which to me is a great start for people who aren’t happy with their current situation; however I believe that at some point, being happy with life is just standard procedure, and looking to make consistent small improvements becomes a continual process.
So really this was just a quick blog to give my view on things, that if we are to truly become successful in our lives, then we have to LOVE OUR CURRENT LIFE, but at the same time be comfortable in the fact that we will NEVER STOP STRIVING TO IMPROVE; therefore, we will always set goals so that every action and decision in our lives takes us in the direction of achieving those goals.
My quick tips for this are:
- Set some short and long term goals
- Take steps every day, or at least every week to move you towards them. Especially do the things that seem the hardest!
- Constantly evaluate and upgrade your goals.
- NO GOAL IS TOO BIG!! “Dream, Believe, Achieve“
My favourite quotes align greatly with this ethos:
If you can dream it you can do it – Walt Disney
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone – Neale Donald Walsch
Never, Never, Never Give Up! – Winston Churchill
