Self- Improvement
0
Self- Improvement, it seems to be a word only to many, but a destination for a few. It is a path where firstly, one needs to introspect himself, then the improvement starts. ”Reality leaves a lot to the imagination”, a thought by “John Lenon”, which means the imagination starts from the reality itself in either way.
- One has to beat the inertia and needs to come to momentum to reach the destination of “Self -improvement”. There should not be a word “TRY” in our dictionary, means one should not approach things as “I will try this instead either I will do or don’t”. There is no age limit for self-improvement, it is a path to the destination, one wants to achieve.
- People compete with each other in this world, but there is no competition with any other person in this world. The words seem to be ironic, but the truth is that our competition starts with us and ends with us. If it means that we keep moving ahead on the path of introspecting and improving ourselves on some basic parameters, then there is no need to think that “I will do better than my colleague in future” instead of it , Self Improvement will take you to heights of sky. Our ancient Vedic teachings suggest that “meditation is the key to self- improvement” because introspection and improvement cannot be made if calmness and concentration is not there.
- Sometimes failures do come into everyone’s life, but instead of letting down, one needs to bounce back with huge momentum to reach heights after rectifying and learning from your mistakes. Our competition is with our own self and the day we understand this simple concept, we will not be far from our goal.
Simple Self Growth Technique
Look around you and notice how people behave in various circumstances. The people you meet at home, work, at the supermarket, on the bus, train and on the street. Learn from people being interviewed on TV, how people talk, walk and react, and how they are treated by others.
Pay attention to the way people use their voice and how they react to other people’s voices. When people shout, or speak softly, notice what happens when people get angry, restless and upset, and what happens to you and others, when they are calm and relaxed. If you do not like what you see, analyze why you do not like it, and then analyze your own behavior to find out, whether you behave in the same way.
Be honest and impartial in your analysis. When you discover that you possess some of these undesirable traits of character and behavior, affirm to yourself often that every time you catch yourself indulging in these traits or behavior, you are going to be aware of them, and do your best to avoid them. Play in your mind that how you would like to behave. Repeat it several times a day, every day.
