Success and You – Journey of Self Improvement

By Vivienne Leigh

Article selected by Gold Coast Tire & Auto

Everything that happens occurs for a reason. Sometimes it’s good and other times not so fortunate. Whatever thoughts and actions you take will dictate the outcome. When the going gets tough, everything in sight becomes an obstacle and we are often halted in our journey to pursue personal development. Instead of burying yourself in your world of emotions, fears and failures accumulated from the past, treat every incidence as your teachers, for they will be valuable tools in your journey to both self improvement and success. No event in life is experienced in vain, if you discover (and learn) the lesson within.

Remember Patch Adams, the medical student that failed his medical board exams? After suffering from months of melancholy and depression he voluntarily sought medical treatment in a psychiatric ward. Through his hospital stay he came to find ways of treating his own ailment and in turn found the conviction to remain true to his dream of becoming a doctor. With a positive attitude he came to achieve success. Through his journey of personal development, he rose above all obstacles, became a better person and enriched the lives of those around him.

So, when does self improvement become synonymous with success? Where do we start on this journey of personal development?

Here are some tips to get you started:

- Whenever a negative thought about yourself arises, halt your thought and replace it with a positive affirmation about yourself. In truth, the first step to personal success is to learn to accept and appreciate who you are.

- When you see hunks and models on television, focus your thoughts on self improvement, not self pity and certainly not jealousy, for jealousy can make one bitter.

- View life as a journey of lessons to be learnt. Don’t beat yourself up if you didn’t quite achieve something on the first attempt, think of it as an opportunity to master it better the next time around.

- Take things one step at a time. Personal development is a life journey, not a day trip. So, remember to smile and enjoy everyday as it comes.

- Self-improvement results in inner stability, personal development and SUCCESS. It comes from self-confidence, self-appreciation and self-esteem.
