Become the best version of yourself


When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too. I have dedicated this week to SELF IMPROVEMENT. I believe that the moment you better yourself and improve your self value, the world begins to see and desire the value that you possess and this will take you places. We have heard truly inspirational stories of successful people like Oprah Winfrey who came from humble beginnings and rose to influential positions through following her passion and constantly bettering herself. We need to be addicted to constant never ending self-improvement. So as usual i have compiled a list of ways in which you can actively work on improving yourself and becoming the best version of yourself.
  • Surround yourself with greatness.     People don't always like and they don't always want whats best for you. If you surround yourself with people who are not accustomed to your success they become scared because you are showing them something they don't recognize. They will not come out openly and tell you they are scared, rather they will stay stuff like "Who do you think you are?", "What makes you so special?". We have all heard these questions more often than we would have liked and they come from people who simply don't want the best for you. People who want the best for you will always want you to be your best so you need to surround yourself with people who will FILL YOUR CUP UNTIL IT RUNS OVER 
  • Master your craft.     Become so skilled in whatever it is that you do to the extent that your talent cannot be dismissed. The sooner we stop comparing ourselves to other people we notice that our lives become happier and more fulfilling. I believe that you are on this earth to be you and you alone, we should stop trying to be everything, everyone and everything to everyone.The most successful people in the world all have one thing in common which is a statement : "This one thing I do". Become a leader in your field of work no matter what it is and you will see and feel yourself becoming happier and more valuable.
  • Aim to serve and not be served.     All the great leaders and most successful people in the world all aim to provide service regardless of their area of work. They dedicated their entire lives to use their positions to impact the lives of millions around the world and the joy found in being a positive influence in a world that is filled with negativity is just amazing. You might not have the same level of influence like Oprah or Bill Gates or all the other philanthropists but you can start in your own small way and change the world for the better in your own little way. Make it a point to put a smile on someone's face every single day and your life becomes more fulfilling when you aim to serve others. Service and significance equals success.

  • Take responsibility of your life.     You are responsible for your life. If your sitting around and waiting for someone to come and help you or fix you up then you are wasting your time. You and only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward. What matters is this moment and your willingness to look within yourself, forgive your past, embrace your present and look forward to your future. Steer your life in the direction you want and take responsibility for your own happiness and work.
  • Build your brand.     Companies often invest large sums of money into branding because it is the sum total of how they are perceived by their customers, employees and beyond. A brand is a company’s most valuable asset and the same applies to people. You are a brand on your own and you are your own manager too. Your value will be determined on how well you take care of your brand and how much time you take to invest in yourself. You can try a couple of things which will surely aide in your mission for self improvement :
    - Reading is one of the most underrated habits. It not only improves your vocabulary and communications skills, it also broadens your view on the world.
    - Regular exercise improves blood circulation to the mind which is your most valuable asset so jogging on a regular will help a lot in self improvement.

I hope that we dedicate our time to improving ourselves and becoming the best versions of ourselves and truly be unique in our own respect. Discover yourselves this week and Thank God its Monday

Sweet are the uses of adversity

Image
When things are bad it is human nature to forget that things are going to get good and when things are good it is also human nature to forget that things are most probably going to get bad. I strongly feel that the main cause or one of the main causes of stress and in time depression is not knowing what to do . When things are going really bad I believe not knowing what to do is the main cause of stress. I believe that we have all been through some level of adversity (a very unpleasant situation) and what separates us is how we react and navigate through these adversities. "Sweet are the uses of adversity , which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in its head " ~ William Shakespeare. To help deal with adverse situations i have compiled a list that will help you cope better with difficult situations :  Learn to take a hit One of the most useful skills you are taught in any combat sport is how to take a blow . The reason why people end up los...

The horse is made ready for the day of battle

" The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD " ~ King Solomon(Proverbs 21 vs 31).This is a verse I got from my little brother during one of our family devotions and it really got me thinking. In ancient times the horse was considered one of the finest beasts man could ever own and use for his/her personal use. Before it was used for agricultural purposes it was mostly used for transportation and for war as the soldiers would ride atop of it into battle. The horses were readied for battle a day or 2 prior to battle so that when the day arrives they are in perfect shape and would prove to be an advantage to their owners. King Solomon however knew something that a majority of people didn't know, that we may have the finest horses but victory rests or lies with the Lord. This to me means that before there is even a victory the horses need to be made ready for the battle and this allows the victory to rest with the Lord because we wo...

Value your identity

Image
Our past as many would argue is always going to be a huge part of our life. The sad part is a majority of the memories we remember are those in which our lives were at an all time low. This can be a certain failure, heartbreak or some other catastrophic event. Continuously replaying such events unintentionally molds us into the people we are and would result in loss of confidence, depression and just a general lack of purpose or value in life. If these things don't shape us then the constant criticism we receive from friends and family molds us unfortunately. A number of people are the way they are simply because of what was said or what happened to them that they can not let go of. Holding on to such negative emotions not only has its toll on your emotional and mental well  being but it also has some effect even on your physical well being. The most powerful thing in the world is to be consistent with the thoughts values that you believe to be true about you . In my view identity ...
