My personal Self improvement fight! Hopefully me and you are batting for the same team on this topic! The momentum is growing. So, you've got a choice, join me, or you might get rolled over - In a nice way, of course! ;-)
Self improvement is my thing,
and if I'm honest about the situation, I'm embarking upon my on small personal fight... hopefully, this will quickly become a HUGE crusade.
Self improvement, or personal development, has got to be the MOST critical thing in life, PERIOD! Think about it, everything you say or do is determined, arguably solely, by your psychology. I'm sure you agree, right? I don't believe anybody will argue with that...
It never ceases to amaze me how many people that believe this statement to be true but when I ask those very same people, whether or not they are living their DREAM life, usually their facial expression drops and they say something like, “Uh... no” or “... Nope” or even “ I've never thought about. Urrrrmmm... I don't Know”...
Then, and this is the bit that I can't get over, I proceed to ask them, “Would you like me to teach you some of my self improvement strategies?” and I never forget to mention, “You can Live Your DREAM Life quicker than you ever thought possible!” Now, the first few times I'd been in this scenario, I didn't think they'd be able to resist my offer...
BUT, just when it seemed I was at the height of my amazement, they'd reply something along the lines of, “I don't really have time for all that!” or “I've got more important things to worry about then self improvement, or Personal development for that mater!”...
If you know me, you'll probably be able to guess how much this frustrates me. I won't tell you what I get the urge to say, if I did, this article certainly wouldn't have been published. I can't help it, my weakness is that I'm a lover of people. On top of that, I know, first hand, just how PRECIOUS life is...
I have to bite my lip, and firmly, otherwise I'll probably not get back the same amount of love that I have for that particular person, and believe me, I am talking from experience - That's why I bite it so tightly nowadays.
But the saga continues because now I've got to make a decision. Firstly, should I stay, or should I go? Me being me, I stay and start trying to persuade them to take me up on my offer and start showing self improvement the respect it's due. It's stupid of me to do this, but I just can't help it, I'm fanatical about self improvement and living live with pedal to the metal...
But, SHOCK HORROR, I'm not embraced for my efforts. Instead, the person usually starts hating on ME for trying to help THEM with what they have already agreed is a problem in their life, and a MAJOR problem by their own admission.
Because of this, I've come to realise I HAVE to change my approach and teach self improvement and personal development INDIRECTLY. What's the reason? Firstly, I'm NOT going to give up without a fight, I feel it's my duty NOT to! Secondly, because of previous experiences, I fully recognise that people AREN'T interested in what they NEED, instead they're only interested in what they WANT. Any how, yes, I do love and care about people, but I certainly don't love it when theye abuse!
So, what's my personal battle?...
If you haven't guessed already, my crusade is to teach EVERYBODY self improvement and show EVERYBODY how to, and why they should, live their EXTRAORDINARY life! I know this is on the same sort of scale as trying to boil the ocean, however, my passion for self improvement and personal development is probably way bigger than the ocean...
In saying all that, I guess I should make a start on it. Cross you fingers for me!...
