Success And Self-Improvement

It is amazing how many people just settle for what is given to them, no desire for self growth or personal empowerment. With all the "Best Seller" books on the market you would think that more people were taking advantage of the fruitful resources that are available at our fingertips, but statistics prove that the more we know…the less we know? What? It does not make any sense! Many people have goals, dreams, desires and ambitions but do not know how to go about achieving their objectives. They contemplate personal self-improvement and their ideal life, but have no idea how to begin to make a plan and take the necessary required actions.

Some people have a vague idea on how to go about applying self-improvement methods into their lives. Some 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 it is dependent on 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 a self-improvement revelation.

They may have spent oh…maybe just a little time thinking about what they actually want from life. They may not really believe that they can do or be something that creates their indistinct version of their perfect world. That is, apart from buying more lottery tickets or merely paying their tithing and expecting some mysterious "promise" to bring them what they want, what they desire.

Others don't even know what they actually want from their lives, having little idea what would really make them happy. They just go from day to day, week to week, month to month and year to year doing little more than just getting by.

These folks might feel they have secure jobs and are earning enough to live relatively comfortable lives. They seem happy enough and have no particularly great ambition to achieve anything more from their lives than they currently have. Hum-Drum!

So I ask you… Is self-improvement important?

The stark 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 the self-improvement process.

Today's modern-day living moves at such a fervently dramatic pace, a pace so much more speedier than at anytime in history. In modern society, there are more opportunities available to make our lives better than ever before.

But, there is also more competition than ever before. 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, we need self-improvement, we need to empower ourselves.

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

A commitment to self-improvement and personal growth may well be the vital factor in how anyone's future will turn out. Are you ready to accept the challenge? Are you ready to be improved? Step up to the plate and go to bat for…you!
