Killing time and waiting for each day to pass, I wonder when that day will come which will make me laugh, waiting for the time to come when I will feel satiated with myself. Started out trying to reach the sky didn’t know that reaching there would be so hard. Trying is what I did but one day self-doubt started to creep.
Believe in yourself, believe in yourself I shouted, but I was not there to hear the voice.
I was probably hidden away somewhere there, tried to seek the voice, but what did I get? Silence.
Felt depressed and had lost faith; everything was dark around and was feeling insane.
There were clouds and there was storm, how to come out was the only thing I thought.
Needed a spark just to turn away the dark, where would I find it? Where do I search?
Lost, I went to find that spark, to find the way out of this dark. But what did I find? Nothing.
Didn’t know that the storm was not something that had come from far, it was there inside right from the start.
Knew that I needed to step in the storm and find that spark, scared my mind told me thousand reasons why not to go, but I would come out as a changed person was the only thing I know.
Went in with faith and survived the fate, in the end didn’t know how I managed but did return safe.
For the one thing I learnt is, the switch to the darkness and the light is in your hands still we don’t know how to handle that switch, because in the end life has its own way for us to teach .

Another week gone by,
Grab your drink; it’s time to catch up. If we were sipping coffee together I
would tell you in the amazement that surfing internet and reading blogs have
become my most favorite pastime. Once a while surfing the Google I came across this
example from one blog. Here goes the example written by Dr. Marvin Marshall;
A
woman having lunch at a small café was seated next to a family celebrating
their son’s basketball game. Their conversation was so lively that the woman
joined in. “You must have been on the winning team,” she said.
The
kid grinned from ear to ear, “No, we lost by 20 points. The other team had a
killer defense. We were only able to make one basket.”
“Did
you make the basket?” she asked.
With
his mouth filled with cake and ice cream, the boy shook his head, “No.”
His
father reached across the table to give him a high five. His mother hugged him
and said, “You were awesome.”
The
woman at the next table rubbed her chin.
The
boy looked at the confused woman and said, “At last week’s game, I took nine
shots but they all fell short of the basket. This week I took eight shots and
three of them hit the rim! Dad says I’m making progress.”
A thought
popped up in my mind that we all are that little boy, and we can also try to
improve ourselves every day. Life is unpredictable and often harsh, but whatever life throws
us, we can handle it, if we just try to be a little better each day than we
were the day before. Give me five minutes of your time, and I will convince you
why self-improvement is important.
So,what is self-improvement?
Personal growth or
self-improvement is the continuous process of understanding and discovering
oneself and trying to identify their own true value. Personal growth has a
profound effect on every single aspect of our life. As we grow on a personal
level, we begin to feel more passionate about life in general. Self-
improvement provides us with the opportunity to become the best possible
version of ourselves.
Why self-improvement?
One of the best things about
life is that we never have to stop learning. There are always new skills to
learn and techniques for us to adopt. When you look at the most successful
people in the world, they understand this. The best entrepreneurs in the world
don’t act like they know everything. They all understand the fact that they
have to continuously learn to be successful.
For us to live life to the
fullest, we must continually look for ways to improve. Learning is tough and can be frustrating. When we are looking to
learn as much as possible, there’s less of a chance that we will come off as
arrogant. True charmers don’t make themselves look smart, they make others look
smart. And when people see that you are
trying to learn from them, it makes liking you that much easier.
Are you ready to
accept your flaws?
It is very important in our life that we
discover our own self, and by discovering one’s own self I mean analyzing oneself
and accepting the flaws. Self-improvement can only begin when we know our true
self. Remember that without self-awareness, personal development simply can’t
occur. This is because you have to be aware of where you currently stand and
where you can improve the skills required for you to grow. By introspection one can know one’s
capabilities, weakness and inabilities. One can overcome his inabilities and
make full use of his abilities for self-improvement.
Are you ready to change yourself?
After you’ve figured out what the skills or
abilities you require to realize your ambitions, you need to start thinking
about how you can change your life for the better by improving them. People are stuck in their comfort zone and they don’t want to
step out of it, but being stuck in at a place won’t bring you growth, stepping
out of your comfort zone helps you face your fears, take risks and face
challenges, you become stronger and better versions of yourselves. I read this
sentence somewhere and it is very true “people often fear change but it is the only
thing that brings progress”.
It is about taking time and making a commitment
to invest in your greatest resource that is you yourself. When you realize your
own value the results are amazing.
How to improve yourself?
Some days, it will be easier than others, but
if we just put forth the tiniest of effort, maybe give some change to someone
less fortunate, or smile when you don’t feel like it, things will get better. By taking things one day at a time, with tiny
improvements, you can get through anything life throws at you.
I try to apply this principle in my own life,
successfully at times and not so successfully at others. This must not be done
by imitating others but through hard work and
sincere efforts.
We all have the
same twenty-four hours, so what’s your excuse? Hustle! No pain, no gain! Stop
playing small. Take massive action, go all-in. They’re crushing it, why aren’t
you? The steps to success are quick, easy, and proven. Do whatever it takes.
You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take. The universe loves speed.
But you must not forget to love yourself while you’re on the mission of self-improvement.
Loving yourself is equally important.
