Self Improvement Power
How to Unlock Your Self Improvement Power
No matter what your age is, there's always room for self-improvement. Not for the sake of others, or trying to
be a better person (although there's nothing wrong with that), but because it will bring you more inner peace and
fulfillment, which self-improvement tends to do. You will have more self power.
Unlock your self power
When we look at a certain object, a painting for example – we won’t be able to appreciate what’s in it, what is
painted and what else goes with it, if the painting is just an inch away from our face. But if we try to take it a
little further, we’ll have a clearer vision of the whole art work.
Try placing Frog A in a pot of boiling water. What happens? He twerps! He jumps off! Why? Because he is not able
to tolerate sudden change in his environment – the water’s temperature. Then try Frog B: place him in a luke warm
water, then turn the gas stove on. Wait til the water reaches a certain boiling point. Frog B then thinks “Ooh…
it’s a bit warm in here”.
People are like Frog B in general. Today, Anna thinks Carl hates her. Tomorrow, Patrick walks up to her and told
her he hates her. Anna stays the same and doesn’t mind her what her friends says. The next day, she learned that
Kim and John also abhors her. Anna doesn’t realize at once the importance and the need for self improvement until
the entire community hates her.
Make change happen now
We learn our lessons when we experience pain. We finally see the warning signs and signals when things get rough
and tough. When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our jeans and shirts would fit us. When do
we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth has fallen off. When do we realize that we need to
stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. When do we pray and ask for help? When we realize that we’re gonna die
tomorrow.
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self improvement power is when the whole world is
crashing and falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. But change becomes more
painful when we ignore it.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to experience different
turning points in our life – and we are all going to eventually unlock our self improvement power not because the
world says so, not because our friends are nagging us, but because we realized its for our own good.
Self-improvement is a way of life
Happy people don’t just accept change, they embrace it. Now, you don’t have to feel a tremendous heat before
realizing the need for self improvement. Unlocking your self improvement power means unlocking yourself up in
the cage of thought that “its just the way I am”. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear and resist change.
Most of us program our minds like computers.
Jen repeatedly tells everyone that she doesn’t have the guts to be around groups of people. She heard her mom,
her dad, her sister, her teacher tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jen
believes. She believes its her story. And what happens? Every time a great crowd would troop over their house, in
school, and in the community – she tends to step back, shy away and lock herself up in a room. Jen didn’t only
believed in her story, she lived it.
Jen has to realize that she is not what she is in her story. Instead of having her story post around her face
for everyone to remember, she has to have the spirit and show people “I am an important person and I should be
treated accordingly!”
Self improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different point of view, we
might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved.
Three sessions in a week at the gym would result to a healthier life, reading books instead of looking at porns
will shape up a more profound knowledge, going out with friends and peers will help you take a step back from work
and unwind. And just when you are enjoying the whole process of unlocking your self improvement power, you’ll
realize that you’re beginning to take things light and become happy. And all that leads to more success in your life.
