Self Help Street Unlock Yourself Improvement Power

When you look at a cer­tain object, a paint­ing just an inch away from your face, for exam­ple — you may not appre­ci­ate what’s in it, what is painted and what else goes with it. But if you pay atten­tion and try to take it a lit­tle fur­ther, you’ll have a clearer vision of the whole art work.

It is the same thing apply to when you reach to a point in your life when you are ready for change, you will find there is a whole bunch of infor­ma­tion that can help you to unlock your self improve­ment power, which means unlock­ing your­self up in the cage of thought that “its just the way I am”.

In many cases, the only time you think of unlock­ing your­self improve­ment power is when every­thing got worst. Let’s take the frog prin­ci­ple for example –

Try plac­ing Frog A in a pot of boil­ing water. What hap­pens? He twerps! He jumps off! Why? Because he is not able to tol­er­ate sud­den change in his envi­ron­ment – the water’s tem­per­a­ture. Then try Frog B: place him in a luke warm water, then turn the gas stove on. Wait til the water reaches a cer­tain boil­ing point. Frog B then thinks “Ooh… it’s a bit warm in here”.

In gen­eral, peo­ple are like Frog B in gen­eral. Today, Jean thinks Carl hates her. Tomor­row, Patrick walks up to her and told her he hates her. Jean stays the same and doesn’t mind her what her friends says. The next day, she learned that Kim and John also abhors her. Jean doesn’t real­ize at once the impor­tance and the need for self improve­ment until the entire com­mu­nity hates her.

See, peo­ple learn their lessons when they expe­ri­ence pain. You finally see the warn­ing signs and sig­nals when things get rough and tough.

When none of your jeans and shirts would fit you, you real­ize that you need to change diets. When all of your teeth has fallen off, you stop eat­ing can­dies and choco­lates. When your lungs have gone bad, you real­ize that your need to stop smok­ing. When you real­ize that you are gonna die tomor­row, you pray and ask for help.

See, the only time most of us ever learn about unlock­ing our self improve­ment power is when the whole world is crash­ing and falling apart.

Change will hap­pen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to expe­ri­ence dif­fer­ent turn­ing points in our life, and we are all going to even­tu­ally unlock our self improve­ment power. It is not because the world says so, it is not because friends are nag­ging you, but it is because you real­ized its for your own good.

Happy peo­ple don’t just accept change, they embrace it. For peo­ple who fear and resist change is just a poor excuse.

Well, I under­stand that self improve­ment may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if you look at things in a dif­fer­ent point of view, you might have greater chances of enjoy­ing the whole process instead of count­ing the days until you are fully improved.

And just when you are enjoy­ing the whole process of unlock­ing your self improve­ment power, you’ll real­ize that you’re begin­ning to take things light and become happy
