Unlock Your Potential for Self-Improvement

For instance, if a painting is only an inch from our face, we will not be able to enjoy what it contains, how it is created, or what else it goes with. However, we will be able to see the entire piece of art more clearly if we attempt to go a bit farther.

We reach a point in our lives when we are ready for change and a whole bunch of information that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. Until then, we might not notice something that is there in front of us.  We only consider using our potential for self-improvement when things have gotten really bad. For instance, consider the frog principle:

Consider putting Frog A in a kettle of water that is boiling. What takes place? He is a twerp! He takes off! Why? due to his inability to withstand abrupt changes in his surroundings, like as the temperature of the water. After that, try Frog B by submerging him in lukewarm water and then turning on the gas stove. Hold off until the water hits a specific boiling point. Then, Frog B muses, "Oh, it's a little warm in here."

In general, people are like Frog B. Anna believes Carl despises her today. Patrick confronts her the following day and declares his hatred for her. Anna doesn't change and doesn't care what her pals think. She found out the following day that John and Kim despise her as well. It isn't until the entire community despises her that Anna realizes how important and necessary it is to better herself.

When we are in agony, we learn our lessons. When things get difficult, we eventually see the warning signs and signals. When do we know we need to make dietary changes? when we couldn't fit into any of our shirts or jeans. When should we quit eating chocolate and candies? when we're completely toothless. When do we know it's time to quit smoking? when we have deteriorated lungs. When should we pray and seek assistance? when we acknowledge that tomorrow is our death date.

Most of us only ever learn how to unleash our potential for self-improvement when everything else is collapsing around us. Because it is difficult to change, we think and feel this way. Ignoring change, however, makes it more painful.

Whether you like it or not, change is inevitable. We will all go through various life turning points at some point, and we will all finally discover our potential for self-improvement—not because the world or our friends are pressuring us to, but because we know it's for our own benefit.

People who are happy welcome change rather than merely accepting it. You don't have to experience extreme heat to recognize that you need to change yourself.  You must free yourself from the prison of thinking that "it's just the way I am" in order to unleash your potential for self-improvement. It is such a weak justification for those who oppose and fear change. Like computers, most of us program our minds.

Jen frequently tells everyone that she lacks the courage to be in large crowds. Her mother, father, sister, and teacher all told others the same things about her. That's what Jen thinks over the years. She thinks it's her tale. And what takes place? She had a tendency to withdraw, get bashful, and shut herself in a room whenever a large group of people gathered at their home, at school, or in the neighborhood. Jen lived her tale, not just believing it.

Jen must come to terms with the fact that she is not who she claims to be. She needs to have the spirit and demonstrate to people that "I am an important person and I should be treated accordingly," rather than having her narrative posted all on her face for everyone to remember.

Although the term "self-improvement" may not be everyone's favorite, if we adopt a new perspective, we may be more likely to enjoy the process rather than counting down the days until we are completely better. Going to the gym three times a week will lead to a healthier lifestyle; reading books rather than porn will help you get deeper knowledge; and hanging out with friends and peers will allow you to relax and take a break from work.  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.
