Self improvement and success
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. Its 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
for 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 in that matter. He met a catatonic, a
mentally retarded, 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
pains he has gone through, he still want to become the a doctor. He carries with himself a positive
attitude that brought him self improvement and success. He didn’t only improved himself, but also the
life of the people around him and the quality of life. 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? Take these
tips, friends…
*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 rooms for self improvement.
*Take things one 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 to inner stability, personality development and dig this …. SUCCESS. It comes
from self confidence, self appreciation and self esteem.
* Set meaningful and achievable goals. Self improvement doesn’t turn you to be the exact replica of
Cameron Diaz or Ralph Fiennes. It hopes and aims to result to an improved and better 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 “good day” or telling Mr. Smith
something like “hey, I love your tie!” are simple things that mean so much to other people. When we’re
being appreciative about beautiful things around us and other people, we also become beautiful to
them.
*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 attitude hang
out. Sometimes, even if you think you and your best friend always like to do the same thing together at
the same time, she would most likely decline an invitation for self improvement.
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 that “When the student is ready, the teacher will
appear.” We are all here to learn our lessons. Our parents, school teachers, friends, colleagues,
officemates, neighbors… they are our teachers. When we open our doors for self improvement, we
increase our chances to head to the road of success.
