Make the creator proud of you
Earlier it used to be said that the strongest survive which is why survival of the fittest was the adage used to identify successful people and their success. Now, the world is changing all the time so the new mantra needs to be survival of the most adaptable as adaptability to change is what is needed in the new world.
When a baby takes his/her first steps, no one can be as proud as his/her parents.
This is true for our creator too. He/She would indeed be proud of us if we keep learning and growing in an ever changing world. This is eternally true but more relevant now as there are many changes taking place in the times we live in now.
Whatever the circumstances outside, we need to work more efficiently, stabilize our emotions, or improve our sense of fulfillment in life. Bettering ourselves can positively impact every aspect of our life, and each time we improve one characteristic of ourselves, we will elevate our overall sense of contentment.
This will help increase our self-confidence and feel positive about our future. When we feel like we are in charge of our abilities, we will recognize that our success depends on our effort alone, rather than the actions of others.
Working on ourself will also help us:
-
Stop feeling like a victim
-
Inspire other people
-
Stop complaining
-
Increase your credibility
-
Become resilient
We suggest the following strategies
Increase standards of acceptance
Our standards dictate what we find suitable. They set the benchmarks of our performance. Let us make them high and keep increasing their levels.
Indulge in positive self-talk
Our internal dialogue has a strong impact on how we feel about ourselves, which then impacts our behavior. By using positive self-talk, we will continue to encourage ourselves to improve at anything we are working on.
Keep learning new things
Doing the same thing day in and day out becomes boring and can reduce our motivation to succeed, but learning new things is a great way to keep life interesting and continuously better ourselves.
Surround Yourself With Positivity
Our environment, the media we consume, and the people we choose to spend our time with all have a huge impact on our self-improvement efforts because our motivation and mental state is largely formed through our surroundings.
Choosing to remain in a positive environment does make us positive as well, always.
Control your habits
We need to ensure we have control over our habits and not the other way around for a complete life. Habits become who we are if we give them control. We need to be their master and not the other way around.
These are just a few of the strategies that we can adopt to make our life better and the creator proud of us,
These are simple if we make up our minds. For, we do have the ability to do anything we wish to once our intent is established. Let us not delay but begin doing this now.
