Preparing For Self Improvement
Be all you can be, but it's not always in the Army. I often see myself as
somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course it's hard to
think of anything else when where are real issues to be discussed.
Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.
So we're all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn't even bother or even
hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to
live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold
on to the dream. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks… or can they?
1. What do I really want? The question of the ages. So many things you
want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.
Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards
improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.
2. Should I really change? Today's generation has taken another level of
redefining 'self', or at least that's what the kids are saying. Having an army
of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there are far worse things that
they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit
into your lifestyle? If history has taught us one thing, it's the life
that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn't
appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them
applaud after showing them how to really dance than break their bones in
break-dancing.
3. What's the bright side in all of this? With so much is happening around
us there seem to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the
tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much
scrutiny. And if it's a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and
see what makes the world go round!
4. Am I comfortable with what I'm doing? There's always the easy way and
the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse,
shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a genius to see yourself as someone unique,
or else we'll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in
very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.
5. Have I done enough for myself? Have you, or is there something more you
want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but
in small amounts you'll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine
doing.
6. Am I happy at where I am today? It's an unfair question so let it be an
answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it
up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life!
7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex? So maybe I don't have an answer to
that, but that doesn't mean I can't try it, though. Whether you shape-up, change
the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you
should always remember it will always be for your own benefit.
8. How much could I have? I suppose in this case there is no such things
on having things too much or too little, but it's more on how badly you really
need it. I'd like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is
that how much are you willing to work for it?
9. What motivates me? What motivates you? It's an answer you have to find
out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to
choose one of the may be the hardest part. It's not like you can't have one
serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that's it. Just try it piece by
piece.
10. What Really Makes You Tick? So? What really makes you tick? You can be
just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining
something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even
start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the
physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it's something that
you really want.
