Self-Improvement is Not an Option, But a Necessity...

in #mindset6 years ago (edited)

Hi Steemians!

As the most wonderful and magnificent creature in the whole of creation, mankind is capable of taking great leaps and reaching marvelous milestones. But unless we learn how to turn that potential into an actuality, we are destined to waste the precious little time we have on this planet and in this life.

Everything good that ever happens to us in life is the product of our own decisions and actions. Our beneficial habits and tendencies contribute to our rise to success and achievement, while our inspiring mindset pushes us forward to new ambitious horizons of dream and desire.

But these tendencies and thoughts are hardly inadvertent and unplanned. Some of them may shape by the help of those around you in your early years, but most are the product of your own free will. That is why the idea of self-improvement in life is not an option or a delicacy, but a necessity if you want to realize your goals and dreams.

To understand the importance of self-improvement and its true nature, you first need to understand the process of your thoughts and actions and how they affect your life in ways that may not have been evident to your conscious-self by now.

As we have discussed in depth before, we are the ones that decide how to see life. Our mind manifests the image of what surrounds us and feeds us that image through windows of reality. Without extensive knowledge of how these manifestations of reality form, the process happens in a state of unconsciousness.

As a result, we live a life of cause and effect, and shortcomings of great consequence. We then blatantly blame the world and the people around us for the things that happen in our life, when in truth, we were the ones who decided how to respond and react to everything that came up in our life.

Our thoughts, our choices, and our actions happen in a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness. The more we master the ability to bring them into our conscious being, the more careful we will take steps towards a successful life.

What I am essentially telling you is that we need to constantly look after our mind and our soul. Our success and our decent livelihood solely depends on the constant monitoring of our every thought and deed.

Our every moment of every day. Our every conception of what is right and what is wrong. Our conscience and our choices regarding the most important comings and goings of our life.

Self-improvement is the practice of bringing the entirety of our living into mindfulness. To think about how we spend every moment of our life. To think if these moments are contributing to the person that we want to become and see in the future.

If you are committing to things and people that are separating you from who you want to become, then you should immediately stop giving those things and those people your time and energy.

Do not, not even for a single second, lose your grip on the consciousness of the things that drive you forward and the things that turn into an obstacle in your way.

Your constant push towards self-improvement and your incessant mindfulness will be the deciding factor of success or failure when you are faced with the bigger challenges that life has prepared for you.

A BIG HUG!

Self improvement is necessary for overall growth. Because humans tend to grow and evolve and nobody is perfect.
I am happy for the humongous growth in your list.
Keep up with such inspirational blogs.

"A sky without clouds can be beautiful, but it would lack the rain that waters the fields so that life flourishes ... A life without challenges can be comfortable, but the triumphs and failures to make sense of existence would be lacking"
Ivan Thompson

Jesus, is the motivator of personal improvement of all times. A character like Jesus:
If God has called you to serve you, it will evidently heal all your wounds, strengthen the fallen areas, once you have gone through the process. Since God wants to bring out the best in you, but the promise is perfect; because in exchange for all this he will give you his glory. To obtain the anointing and the glory of God it is necessary to pay a high price, and be processed to form a character like Jesus'.
There is a biblical verse that I like very much and I apply it to every stage of my life:
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Thanks @chbartist

Self improvement demands self discipline.

True as ever, especially the last part. That step Is always an issue for me, giving up those who stand in the way of my progress. On another hand though, inanimte things, concepts and principles also can stand in the way. Its hard to determine which principles act as a mode of making action righteous enough, and which are just ideas that hold you back.

Hi @chbartist!

The first component of self improvement is the will. We must be concious of this, then plan accordingly. And we must be learners in every situations. Particularly in relevant situations, we must e pushing ourselves through the limits. Then the next component is determination and consistency, as you say in your previous post.
Today self improvement is a necessity. I have felt this pressure on me in teaching field. And as you are musician, you might have felt in music industry. (By the way went some of your music videos in YouTube: they are awesome).
This is because the time is changing, the trends are changing and the needs of people are changing. Growth is tremendously fast. If we do not update ourselves, we lag behind and deplete our capacity to serve as I do in case of students.

Thank you!
That was an inspiring article and very relatable.

Excelente publicación! En base a lo planteado, es importante identificar los objetivos personales y colectivos; aplicando periódicamente "evaluaciones de cumplimiento" que permitan chequear los avances. De de las resultados se harán los ajustes necesarios que permitan mantener el rumbo correcto a las metas

Muy importante lo de chequear los resultados, mucha gente no analiza el porque no se cumplen los objetivos, no se dan cuenta de los obstáculos que le impiden llegar a la meta.

Es así @kukisum, en la mayoría de los casos no se realiza estos chequeo por que no existe un plan de acción; con objetivos que se puedan evaluar cada cierto tiempo y de manera prioritaria, midiendo el cumplimiento de las metas. Si estas mediciones no se realizan no se tendra la eficiencia esperada en los resultados, con una perdida de tiempo y recursos.

Lo anterior se puede complementar con lo indicado por nuestro amigo @chbartist en esta publicación; debemos tener un "constante empuje hacia la superación personal y su atención incesante serán el factor decisivo del éxito o el fracaso"

Muchas gracias por tu post, te hace revisar tu accionar conciente o no, tu sentir, tu pensar, el sociologo Fals Borda decia somos seres Sentipensante

It's really awe-inspiring to read you. Due to how busy I m with my project, and all the setbacks it had, I have been very negative and tired lately.

Your dose of positiveness is really welcome, and it feels very healing to be recalled about all this. I have been reading silently your posts until lately, but I would really love to be more participating in the community.

I will start reading more posts from everyone. While I can't answer every post I read, I will do my best to answer to those I can!
