    How do you know if a person is willing to attain self improvement? This is a question with no definite answer. It will all depend on the individual.

    Many people have goals, dreams or ambitions but do not know how to go about achieving them. They may have thought about what would make up self improvement and their ideal life, but have no idea how to even begin to make the plans and take the actions required to make them a reality.

    Some people have a vague idea on how to go about self improvement. These are the ones that believe that if only they had a better job, or had been given better opportunities, or met the love of their life, or whatever else, everything would be fine and they would be happy.

    They feel that their happiness or lack of happiness is decided by external factors and their thoughts and actions are of little consequence.

    Some believe that if only they had more money they could have whatever they want and be on their way to self improvement.

    They may have spent little time thinking about what they actually want from life, and do not really believe there is anything they can do to create their fuzzy version of utopia anyway, apart from buying more lottery tickets.

    Other people do not even know what they actually want from their lives and may even have little idea what would really makes them happy. They seem to just drift from day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year, and do little more than just about get by.

    They may have seemingly secure jobs and be earning enough to live relatively comfortable lives. They seem happy enough and have no great ambition to achieve anything more from their lives than they currently have.

    Is self improvement important?

    The reality is that throughout our lives we are all constantly growing and developing. Circumstances make us grow and develop, even if we do not make the conscious decision to do so.

    Up to a certain age, we learn through formal education and we continue to learn through our experiences for the rest of our lives. We have to learn and grow to deal with everything that life throws at us. We all have to go through self improvement.

    Modern life moves at a dramatically faster pace than at anytime in history. For anyone living in modern society there are more opportunities to do anything that you want to do with your life than ever before.

    But there is also more competition than ever before, and ever changing technology means that there really are few, if any ‘jobs for life’ anymore. It is now normal not only to change jobs quite often throughout our working lives, but even to completely change careers and industries.

    Because the workplace is so competitive, people who are ambitious and hungry for success know they need to learn new skills and knowledge to keep ahead of the pack. To attain this, self improvement is needed.

    These are the people that will be most likely to keep their jobs, or progress within their chosen field, or that will be readily employable in different organizations or industries.

    A commitment to self improvement and personal growth may well be the deciding factor in how anyone’s future will turn out.

    Incorporate these skills into your strategy for success and you’ll move forward quicker than you ever dreamed!

    Hustle: generally, people who make it big have one thing in common, they are dissatisfied with the status quo. They will not take what is common or expected and let that define their lives as they move past it and excel. You must work hard and hustle.

    Character: someone coined the phrase, character is what you do in the dark. In other words, when no one is looking, will you behave differently than if someone was looking? If not, then you have character. If you are attacked, be tough, not hard. Don’t be a pushover, but be compassionate, gentle, and flexible especially on procedure (not principle).

    Risk Taking: this isn’t gambling, it’s a willingness to be bold, hearty, and to push forward. People who refuse to take risks are definitely going to lose. If you refuse a new promotion because you’re not confident of your skills, you will likely be passed over when a different chance arrives.

    Don’t be afraid of rejection; just take it as part of life and you’ll find there’s nothing to be afraid of, especially in the word no. No is just another opportunity to find a way around an obstacle and to use creative problem-solving skills.

    Time Management: we all know that one minute has 60 seconds and that one hour has 60 minutes. One day has 24 hours, and one year has 365 days. But one year also has 525,600 minutes. We don’t think about a year in such small increments, but maybe we should. We waste minutes as if they’ll always be around, and the fact is that time wasted is time we can never get back. We might miss a deal or promotion of a lifetime by wasting just a few minutes.

    Proper time management is essential as you climb to success. Continue to break goals down in to manageable chunks, do that with relation to your day and the time you’ve been given. You’ll accomplish far more this way and you won’t regret using your time wisely.

    Master Non-Verbal Communication: it is said that our body language and facial expressions do much more communicating than our words will ever do. When the words that you speak don’t match the expressions on your face or the stance of your body, you confuse the listener and muddle your message.

    Be aware that when you try to multi-task, you often end up short-changing something, and the last thing you want is to short-change people. Don’t try to do too much at once, your willingness to do this tells people they aren’t important, even if you’re expressing your appreciation of their work and effort. Be aware of what message your body is sending off!

    Without character, the puzzle of achieving success falls apart. It is most important of all the pieces to life’s puzzle. Without character, you can make money. But it will be worthless to you and to those around you. Look out in the world today: drug dealers and con artists have money, but they lack character.

    If you go to all the work of achieving success, you don’t want to mar it with a lack of character that will make people pity you as you age and become less than you were intended to be.

    Character equals integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing all the time, even when no one else is watching. You don’t have anything to fear when your integrity is in tact, because you have nothing to hide. You experience no guilt and no fear. And without those two traveling companions, it’s much easier to climb higher and farther, faster!

    What does this mean in a practical sense? It means that you will put the right philosophy (the golden rule) into practice in all that you do. You will not step on someone else to climb the corporate ladder; you will not stack bodies in order to reach the CEO position that you desire. You will treat people with respect, honesty, and trust. You will behave towards others how you want (and expect) them to behave towards you.

    You will be the model of doing the right thing in your office, even if it isn’t appreciated or understood. Chances are very good that if you’re the only one doing the right thing, you won’t last where you are, but you will find something better where your integrity is appreciated and applauded.

    Character realizes that the most important things in life are not office- or work-based. They are family and a sense of responsibility to that family. Character will not sacrifice your family on the altar of I’ve got to finish this project, nor will it tell your children, maybe next time, hon, when asked to play catch.

    Your character will shine through as you put your family before your work, as you purposefully schedule time with them (and then keep those appointments you put in your planner), as you date your spouse and remember why it is you got married in the first place, it becomes easier for you set an example that your spouse and children can be proud of.

    The most important thing to remember as you consider character is that your children will grow up to be just like you. John C. Maxwell once said, We teach what we know; we reproduce who we are. So as a person who is full of integrity and character, you will reproduce those same traits in your children as you climb towards success in your life. And isn’t that really what it’s all about, anyhow?

    As you ponder your goal and determine the best course to achieve it, you will need some creative ways of thinking and facing challenges that will arise. The most creative-thinkers out there will encourage you to think outside your box and to consider even the wildest of ideas.

    One way to do this is to Wild Mind Brainstorm. Wild-Mind is done by having a piece of paper and writing down EVERY idea that occurs to you about the situation you’re facing. Do NOT evaluate your ideas, just write them down. Do NOT consider something too silly or too dumb to write down, just write it down!

    Evaluate your ideas in a few days, but not when you’re writing them down. Consider these ideas much like a newborn baby. You must cradle that baby and hold it lovingly and help it grow to a responsible adult. The same goes for your new ideas. You might find that one idea you would consider to be the silly turns out to be your key for unlocking the door you’re facing.

    Remember the guy who came up with the idea for Post-It Notes? The adhesive was discovered long before they found a use for it and the person who said, Let’s make some note pads that are small and can be easily removed, was laughed at. But now, do you even see ONE office without Post-Its around? I have at least 6 pads of Post-Its in my desk drawer alone. There’s one in the kitchen, and one in the car.

    Another way to increase your creativity is to be around others who are creative. Proverbs 27:17 says, As iron sharpens iron, so people can improve each other. If you hobnob with those who are known for creativity, it will wear off on you. And you will find new ways of looking at things and thinking about situations, as well.

    You can find audio-books and speeches that will stir up your creative juices as well. Professional speakers and those who have been there, done that often hit the speaking-circuit and can pump fresh ideas and life in your goal and the ways you attain those goals.

    I prefer removing myself from the goal-achieving mode and moving to a truly creative outlet, the arts. You may not consider yourself artsy or think you have any ability in this realm, but it’s worth taking a lump of clay (or Play-Doh) and working with it.

    You may find, as I do, that when I’m working on a hobby that I truly love, I free up a portion of my brain that was engaged in my problem-solving. When that happens, I typically find a potential solution to my dilemma. Artistic creativity often sparks other forms of creative-thinking, as it engages a different area of the brain than what we’re used to using. Pick up a paintbrush, a pencil, arrange some flowers, or begin a needlework project. You may find in colour and artistry you have a new lease on what you’re doing!

    You are the allower or the resister. And your emotions tell you which you’re doing right now. It’s easy once you understand the formula: When you feel good, you’re allowing good. When you don’t feel good, you are not allowing good.

    We didn’t say, when you feel good you are allowing good, and when you feel bad you are allowing bad (although it may translate into your experience in that way). There is only a Source of Well-being–which you are allowing or not.

    In his book The Winning Attitude: Your Pathway to Personal Success John C. Maxwell, noted author and speaker tells us that attitude is:

  • The advance man of our true selves
  • Has inward roots but outward fruits
  • Is our best friend or worst enemy
  • Is more honest and more consistent than our words
  • Is an outward look based on past experiences
  • Is a think which draws people to us or repels them
  • Is never content until it is expressed
  • Is the librarian of our past
  • Is the speaker of our present
  • Is the prophet of our future

    Your attitude, or your willingness to think positively, affects many people from your family to the stranger you smile at in the grocery store. An optimist will see opportunity in difficulties, while a pessimist will see difficulty in opportunities.

    You must choose which you will focus on: if you choose poorly, you will doom yourself to never achieving your goals and being successful. Count on that.

    So how do you begin to think positively if you’re a natural pessimist? I don’t really believe there ARE natural pessimists, just people who have been taught how to consider the darkest side of every cloud.

    You cannot change the fact that a problem exists, but you can do a lot to determine what opportunity is within that problem. Begin to see that problems are a fact of life and that your job is to find a way over, around, under, or through them as quickly as possible. When you’re upbeat and consider how quickly a problem will be behind you, it’s easy to be optimistic.

    Cynicism is another killer when it comes to attitude. It’s a cousin of pessimism, it considers everything suspect and everyone as having an ulterior motive. It never looks at someone handing you a piece of candy just to be nice, it always considers that there is a reason you’re being handed the candy and the motivation of the person who’s giving it.

    Cynicism comes from having unrealistic expectations. Many people expect great and wonderful things to happen to them with little-to-no work on their parts. They expect things to fall from the sky in to their laps. When it doesn’t happen as they expect, they become suspicious of others who have achieved success and ultimately, cynical.

    You must harness the power of your thoughts and words when setting your course for success. Use positive affirmations daily: remind yourself that a stumbling block is temporary and that you will overcome it; admit to yourself that you are courageous and able to move on when others cannot; agree with your vision for your life and your goals.

    As you discipline yourself to do this, you will find optimism and positive thinking chasing you down the street. And who couldn’t use these two friends when we’re aiming for success?

    You must develop the right mental attitude on your road to success. Without being overly simplistic, think of The Little Train Who Could. Instead of having an I Can’t attitude, replace it with an I Can! attitude.

    A positive outlook is necessary to see change coming, to be able to work with the change, and to make the most of whatever change comes down the pike in your life. If you expect change (but not from a vending machine!), you’ll be in a better position to accept it and make the most of it.

    A fabulous book regarding change and positive attitude is The Power Of Positive Habits
    by Dan Robey.

    In order to gain right thinking (being positive), you must decide to look at the bright side of life. Instead of seeing the cloud, see the silver lining in the cloud. Instead of seeing downsizing as a horrible thing that will plummet you in to bankruptcy and homelessness, consider it an opportunity to look for a better job and a chance to try new skills and career paths that you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to try before. Don’t be pollyannaish, but do consider all sides of a situation before you adopt a negative perspective.

    In order to maintain a positive outlook, you must also be realistic. For example, if you’ve gained 30 pounds in the last 3 years, it would be highly unrealistic to expect to drop those 30 pounds in 3 weeks. If you take an honest and realistic assessment of your skills and goals, you’re much more likely to find success in whatever field or career best suits you.

    Maintain a cautious optimism as you seek success, not be blindly optimistic about every situation. There are some situations in which positive thinking cannot overcome the situation you’re faced with.

    Consider Tom Brady, quarterback for the New England Patriots; he’s a man who’s in excellent shape. But if he decided to trade in his helmet and pads for ballet toe shoes, he likely wouldn’t make it, despite his physique. Blind optimism also puts you at the mercy of con men and charlatans, your optimism must be tempered by context and relevance.

    No matter what your abilities are (and they are fabulous!), using them realistically will get you much farther than not. Your right thinking, paired with your abilities, put you on a course for success no matter what field you’re in!

    Til next time…prosper!

    Beliefs create reality; they are magical constructs created in your mind, energized in your imagination, and fuelled by your feelings.
    Barbara Marciniak in Path of Empowerment

    Let’s take a look at the metaphysical principle - mind is the builder.

    Your beliefs about yourself together with whatever the strongest emotions are within you will draw to you, the experience that most truly represents these ideas or images.

    This is a mouthful! I’ll explain.

    Essentially it’s about the beliefs you hold about yourself, your abilities, your talents, your world. They are expressed in full color, wide screen reality in the movie which is your life.

    Your life, your everyday experience is the way it is because you have created it. Your physical reality acts as a feedback mechanism to show you just what your belief systems are.

    If this is so, then in every moment you are given the opportunity to look around at your life, and question whether these beliefs you have are producing the desired result in your life.

    Have I achieved what I aimed for?
    Does my life look like I imagined it?
    Are my relationships successful?
    Am I comfortable with who I am?
    What do I want to do with my life?
    Where is my life going?

    Your life, in all of its vibrant color, is there to show you that you have a choice. If you don’t like what you see, how can you change it?

    You might be commenting to yourself, Well OK, I have chosen differently but it hasn’t happened for me.

    How come? What is it that gets in the way?

    Clearing the Terminals

    This is a perfect opportunity to tell you what happened to me, just today. I was down at the local shopping centre with my partner, Stuart, and we stopped in at our favorite cafe for coffee, often a daily habit, I must admit.

    Returning to our trusty car affectionately known as Miss Divine, I inserted the key into the ignition and nothing, zilch, nada, a big fat zero!!!

    Well I don’t know about you but I have a thing about cars that don’t work. They drive me nuts - if they don’t work they’re useless.

    I called the mechanic who came out to meet us in town. He thought it was the battery, so brought a new one with him.

    When the bonnet was up, he peered in at the battery, checked the connectors and found extensive corrosion on the terminals. Apparently, this had eaten away at the wiring and as a result, of course, the car could not get any power. The power supply was cut.

    Now, as this was happening, I thought about the situation. I realized here was a perfect metaphor for what happens to us, as individuals, when we don’t clear our terminals or clear away, the old beliefs which don’t work.

    In a way, the car was reflecting my thinking.

    Obviously, to me, the terminal needed ongoing cleaning and attention so as to provide my vehicle with the power it needs and to prevent this from happening again.

    Transfer this to my life and you can guess the rest!

    If you don’t keep clearing out the old residual energies in the form of stored negative data, then this clutter weakens your power.

    Slowly, slowly, you lose your force. It lies buried in the corrosive negative beliefs you hold onto, one on top of the other. (Maybe this is where the idea of peeling away the onion layers comes from)

    Simply put, it eats away at you.

    This stored data has the effect of filtering the power you express. So what you’re able to give to your world is a watered-down version, a little like a dripping tap.

    If there is any area in your life not working, then you are not living in your power. You hold back from life, in one way or another. If you want to change this and participate in life with a sense of joy and fulfillment, then you’ve got to clean up your act!

    At times, some of what I see about myself does trigger change. Whether I do it through some kind of meditative practice, affirmation, working on it with some therapy or other. We all have a choice-bank of personal development methods to change a worn-out idea into a more desirable belief pattern. Perhaps you’ve tried several of these yourself.

    You are consciously aware of some of these beliefs of yours and if so, you can choose to change them. However, certain beliefs are buried away in the unconscious parts of yourself and because of this, you are not aware of them. Most often this is the reason, at times, you feel the emotional discomforts of fear, doubt, guilt or judgment and react in a particular way in certain situations.

    By exploring these beliefs, you can discover self sabotaging behaviors preventing you from success and blocking you from moving on or taking action. In effect, you come to understand the deep significance of these beliefs.

    Whatever it is and whatever way it represents itself in your life, this is what you must deal with.

    Let’s review the basics:

    * These unconscious beliefs are the drivers
    * Not you
    * These beliefs decide what you consider is possible
    * From these beliefs come the thoughts and emotions
    * From the thought, comes the experience
    * Easy as 1 2 3

    Keep asking questions, be aware and happy hunting.

    Once you know the formula to success, it’s time to consider different avenues in which that formula should be put in to action. The main one you’ll find in every area of your life is relationships.

    Why relationships? Because we are human beings, designed to interact with other human beings. This, by default, entails relationships. And also by default, if you don’t have appropriate skills to manage your relationships, you will fail miserably at whatever success you’re aiming for.

    The first relationship you must consider is the one you have with yourself. If you don’t like yourself, chances are great you will project that dislike to others and your lack of self-appreciation will not propel you to success in any given field. The higher your integrity is, the more you will like yourself. The more you like yourself, the better your relationships will be with others from the inside out.

    Your family relationship is the next thing to examine. The most successful Harvard Business graduates (class of 1949, by percentages) had several things in common:

    They had wives who supported their work and endeavors; women who were intelligent and able to share ideas and be a sounding board. They built their personal, family, and business lives on a foundation of integrity

    Family relationships are extremely important as you consider your path to success. If you fail here, you will not succeed elsewhere, we’ve already covered that in depth.

    Business relationships follow closely behind family relationships. They play a major role in the security and productivity of every individual involved in them, as well as the success and growth of the company.

    You must also learn to manage your frustration as you deal with relationships. Because we are all human, we all have problem-areas and sticking points that will irritate and inflame others. If you can manage your frustration and turn a bad situation with an individual into something you can learn from and make profitable, you will be that much farther ahead on your road to success.

    Consider also, that the next person you meet is important. He or she might look like someone who cannot help you in your field, but then again, looks are deceiving. You never know when the person you assist might be able to assist you or report back to your boss what a great job you’re doing!

    Summing up this section, you should be able to see how healthy family relationships, a willingness to go above & beyond at work, and an ability to consider the next person as important can have a monumental effect on your path to success. We cannot do it alone, and that mere fact means we must deal appropriately with people and relationships!

    Grow and Prosper!
