Self Improvement Success

Self-improvement tips that lead to personal success

Everything that happens to us in life happens for a purpose. Oftentimes, one thing leads to another, with no clear outcome immediately visible, positive or negtive. Instead of locking yourself up in your cage of fears and crying over past heartaches, embarrassment and failures, treat them as your teachers and they will become your tools in both self improvement and success.

Patch Adams

I remember watching Patch Adams – its my favorite movie, actually. Its one great film that will help you improve yourself.

By learning from your past mistakes and treating them as useful life lessons that they are, you will gradually build your potential for personal success.

Hunter “patch” Adams is a medical student who failed to make it through the board exams. After months of suffering in melancholy, depression and suicidal attempts – he decided to seek for medical attention and voluntarily admitted himself in a psychiatric ward.

His months of stay in the hospital led him to meeting different kinds of people. Sick people in that matter. He met a catatonic, a mentally retarded, a schizophrenic and so on.

Patch found ways of treating his own ailment and finally realized he has to get back on track. He woke up one morning realizing that after all the failure and pains he has gone through, he still want to become the a doctor.

He carries with himself a positive attitude that brought him self improvement and success. He didn’t only improved himself, but also the life of the people around him and the quality of life. Did he succeed? Needless to say, he became the best damn doctor his country has ever known.

Self-improvement will help you develop your skills, attitude, behavior and traits that will help you believe in your ability to succeed.

Self improvement tips

So, when does self improvement become synonymous with success? Where do we start? Take these tips, friends…

» You are not a failure
Stop thinking and feeling as if you’re a failure, because you’re not. How can others accept you if YOU can’t accept YOU?

» Think self-improvement
When you see hunks and models on TV, think more on self improvement, not self pitying. Self acceptance is not just about having nice slender legs, or great abs. Concentrate on inner beauty.

» Help people move up
When people feel so down and low about themselves, help them move up. Don’t go down with them. They’ll pull you down further and both of you will end up feeling inferior.

Becoming successful is not all about yourself - by helping others, you will build stepping stones to your own success.

» Learn your lessons
The world is a large room for lessons, not mistakes. Don’t feel stupid and doomed forever just because you failed on a science quiz. There’s always a next time. Leave room for self improvement.

» One thing at a time
Take things one at a time. You don’t expect black sheep’s to be goody-two-shoes in just a snap of a finger. Self improvement is a one day at a time process.

» Self-improvement brings success
Self improvement results bring inner stability, personality development and dig this …. SUCCESS. It comes from self confidence, self appreciation and self esteem.

» Set meaningful goals
Set meaningful and achievable goals. Self improvement doesn’t turn you to be the exact replica of Cameron Diaz or Ralph Fiennes. It hopes and aims to result to an improved and better YOU.

» Show your appreciation of other people
Little things mean BIG to other people. Sometimes, we don’t realize that the little things that we do like a pat on the back, saying “hi” or “hello”, greeting someone “good day” or telling Mr. Smith something like “hey, I love your tie!” are simple things that mean so much to other people. When we’re being appreciative about beautiful things around us and other people, we also become beautiful to them.

Practice listening skills and appreciation of other people, which will lead you to greater personal success.

» Don't expect others to support you in self-improvement
When you’re willing to accept change and go through the process of self improvement, it doesn’t mean that everyone else is. The world is a place where people of different values and attitude hang out. Sometimes, even if you think you and your best friend always like to do the same thing together at the same time, she would most likely decline an invitation for self improvement.

Road to success

We should always remember that there’s no such thing as ‘overnight success’. Its always a wonderful feeling to hold on to the things that you already have now, realizing that those are just one of the things you once wished for. A very nice quote says that “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”

We are all here to learn our lessons. Our parents, school teachers, friends, colleagues, officemates, neighbors… they are our teachers. When we open our doors for self improvement, we increase our chances to head to the road of success.

And motivation is one of the most important factors for self-improvement.
