![]() Self-improvement and loving yourself isn't a matter of shouting to the world that you are perfect therefore you are the best. Everyone has insecurities. Nobody is perfect. We will always wish to have better things, better features, better body parts, etc. But life doesn’t need to be perfect for people to be happy about themselves. From time to time, when all your doubts and insecurities wrap themselves up in one place, you may come up with the concept of “I wish I was another person.” More often than not, you may think of someone you consider better than you. When the simple truth is, most people you consider better are having those same doubts about themselves! You spot a uniquely eye-catching girl sitting by herself at a party, casually sipping her drink. You think to yourself, “She looks so perfectly calm and confident.” But if you could go deeper and see-through into her mind, you would see her muddled thoughts. You might just be amazed that she’s actually thinking “Are people talking about why I am sitting here all alone?”...“Why don’t guys find me attractive?” … “I shouldn’t have worn these shoes, they show off my fat ankles!” … “Wish I was smart like Cathy and just dressed more casual in slacks.” Now, you may look at a young successful business entrepreneur and say “What else could he want?” He stares at himself in a mirror and murmurs, “I hate my wide eyes!”…“I wonder why my old friends aren't calling me anymore?”… “Wish I could schedule some time to hang out with them.”…“I hope my parents will try to work things out.” Isn’t it ironic? We look at other people, envy them for looking so perfect and wish we could trade places with them, while they look at us and think the same thing. We are insecure of many people who themselves are insecure. Stop considering yourself as second-rate. Forget the repetitive thought connected with “If only I was richer… or only if I was thinner” and many others. Accepting your true self is the 1st step to self-improvement. You need to stop comparing yourself to others. You have tremendous power over your own thoughts, choices, and decisions. Negativity tends to weaken and limits your ability to clearly focus. You feel like you are going nowhere or helpless to change. Positivity will strengthen and boost your mental acuity allowing you to see the horizon of possibilities that await you. As soon as you recognize a negative thought pattern for what it is, instantly give it a positive spin. When you begin to strengthen yourself from within, you begin to feel happy and motivated. Your dreams and desires are as individual and unique as you are. To be truly successful in achieving those dreams, know who you are and what you really want for yourself. Doing this first will bring you the greatest enjoyment and contentment from your own life achievements. Self-Improvement is not completely self-serving. By improving yourself first, you will improve the world by the nature of cause and effect. So remove all negative, guilt or shame thought patterns now, you will positively affect those around you through self-improvement. Create a more joyful outlook for yourself and the world, today.
