DON'T LOCK OUT YOUR SELF IMPROVEMENT POWERS

Often we are too close to the things we are trying to see. But if we take a step back, the overall picture can suddenly become clear.

You may have reached a point in your life where you are ready to begin your self improvement journey by unleashing your self improvement power.Until then, you may have the tools right in front of you, but you still can't see them. The only time we think of unlocking our self improvement power is when everything is at its worst.

Take the frog principle for example –

What happens if you place a frog A in boiling water? He twerps! He jumps out. Why? Because he can't tolerate sudden change in his environment. Then try frog B: place him in a luke warm water, then turn the gas stove on. Wait til the water reaches boiling point. Frog B then thinks "Ooh… it’s a bit warm in here". But frog B is now in a terrible situation.

Pain brings about learning. We finally see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and tough. When do we realize that we need to change our diet? When our clothes no longer fit properly. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When our teeth have fallen out. 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.

When we are at our very lowest point is the only time most of us ever think about learning how to unlock our self improvement power. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. But change becomes more painful the longer 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.

Happy people don’t just accept change, they embrace it. Now, you don’t have to feel a tremendous heat like the frog before realizing the need for self improvement. Would it not be better to start using your own power to start unlocking your self improvement power when you are not at your worst? It is a poor excuse for people who fear and resist change.

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 watching tv will shape up a more profound knowledge, going out with friends and peers will help you take a step back from work and unwind. It is at this point that you can begin to see your future unfolding in a very positive way. This self determination is what makes the difference between an average life, and one that is full, complete and full of all the things you enjoy and desire.
