Discipline and Self Improvement

Discipline and Self Improvement

Most of us are regularly exposed to information offering get rich quick schemes and ways to make our fortune for little or even no effort. This is probably even more the case for students of Self Improvement than for most other people.

There may even be some people who have become rich as a result of such offers.

However, if you study the lives of successful and wealthy people you will be unlikely to find many, if any, that achieved their success with little effort. Most worked very hard for their success, and you’ll find few, if any that didn’t have one of the fundamental skills of self improvement and success – discipline.

Self Improvement Quote of the Day:

“No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.” - Harry Emerson Fosdick

Self Improvement and The Power of Questions (continued)

Self Improvement and The Power of Questions (continued)

We all experience events that seem too overwhelming to deal with, and there is a great deal of valuable information available to help in these situations. But in almost any situation, no matter how bad it may seem, there is usually something positive that can be found.

Actually asking the question ‘what can I learn from this situation?’ is a great starting point, even if you only learn what not to do in the future. But you can go much further. It has often been said that when one door closes another opens; and that in every setback lies opportunity. Don’t just stare at the closed door - why not try asking yourself 'what opportunities are now available?', or 'what doors may have have just opened for me?' It will improve your state of mind and may just change you life.

Self Improvement Quote of the Day:

“A major stimulant to creative thinking is focused questions. There is something about a well-worded question that often penetrates to the heart of the matter and triggers new ideas and insights.” – Brian Tracy

Self Improvement and The Power of Questions

Self Improvement and The Power of Questions

Asking questions is one of the most basic ways that we all learn and grow. The questions we ask other people, and even more importantly, the questions we ask ourselves, can have a dramatic impact on our self improvement, success and happiness.

There are times when we find ourselves in difficult or uncomfortable situations, or even in a position where we feel completely overwhelmed. It can be very easy to say ‘what have I done to deserve this?’ or ‘why does this always happen to me?’

However, these questions are destructive and only serve to prepare us for future disappointments. In fact, they can actually guarantee it! The questions we ask ourselves reflect our state of mind, reinforce our beliefs and have a huge impact on our results.

Self Improvement and Listening Skills (Continued)

Self Improvement and Listening Skills (Continued)

Like most skills, we can learn to communicate and listen better if we really want to, and there are many Communication Experts available who can help. Despite what many people may think, good communication is not all about concentrating on getting across our own points of view and opinions. It has been said that we were given two ears and one mouth for good reason.

The most basic - and important - communication skills are the ability to listen impartially, to try to absorb the essence of what the other person is saying, and to really understand their point of view. These are the skills that will make us better communicators, better friends and partners, and help our self improvement and overall progress.

“A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something.” - Wilson Mizner

Self Improvement and Listening Skills

Self Improvement and Listening Skills

Effective listening is almost certainly the most important communication skill, and essential to anyone serious about Self Improvement.

Some people envy those who have the ‘gift of the gab’ and always seem to be the centre of attention. However, this does not mean that good talkers are good communicators; in fact they are often just the opposite.

When engaged in conversation, it is very easy to pay little attention to what the other person is actually saying. We can become easily distracted by countless other thoughts and things happening around us, or thinking about what we are going to say next.

“The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.” - Ralph Nichols

Creativity and Self Improvement

Creativity and Self Improvement

Can developing your Creativity help with Self Improvement and your quest to make positive changes in your life?

Undoubtably. We are all born creative, albeit to different degrees and in different ways. Often the way our lives have evolved means that we use very little of the creativity that we were born with. Education and growing up generally can even actively stifle, rather than enhance, our natural creativity.

It’s also easy to find that you’ve spent years doing things that are very different to how you wanted to spend your life. Developing our creativity can help us to discover the inspiration to live the life of our dreams and enjoy true happiness and fulfilment.

Self Improvement Tips Quote of the Day:

“Creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives... [and] when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life.” - Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
