Self Improvement Through Motivation (How To Live A Happy And Successful Life Part 2)

In Part 2 of the series 'How to Live A Happy And Successful Life' we talk about self improvement through motivation.

In order to be happy and satisfied, we need to be motivated. Motivation basically gives us the hope to look ahead and dream higher. It is the force that propels us to go ahead.

But why do we need to change? People change for various reasons. Some change because they don‟t want to face the pain in their lives. Some change because they are sick of their failures.

For instance, poor grades can make us realise the importance of hard work while studying and can motivate us to change. Similarly, being in debt can makes us look for other jobs or to do more than one job. 

This world is full of negativity, and regardless of whatever people say, we need to face this negativity and try to get over it. But it is you who has to decide. Who is in charge of your life, you or your surroundings?

Once, you decide that you are in charge of whatever happens to you, you will put your foot down and get over whatever negativity surrounds you. 

It's easy for us to remain in the shelter of our comfort zone, but have your ever tried stepping out to take a sneak peek into what lies beyond? What exactly prevents you from doing so? Failure? Fear? Shame? 

Self Improvement Through Motivation - Set A Goal!

The basic thing that you need to improve yourself is first, to have at least one goal and set some objectives. Once you know where you are headed towards, you will easily maintain your focus and not be strayed away by anything that hinders your path. 

Next is to set some concrete plans which can enable you to go for your goals. While planning, don‟t just think within your comfort zone. Step out of the box in order to discover a newer you.

Identify your problems and limitations and use techniques to get over them. Make sure that you know what your weaknesses are and correct them while being in the domain of the ethical values that you cherish. 

Execute your plan and don‟t worry whether you have succeeded or not.

Failures do not break you, but rather, strengthen you. Re-work your plans if they fail, identify loopholes and use methods which help you overcome these loopholes.

Every failure teaches you what to avoid and ends in giving you a big lesson. Learn from these lessons so that you can strengthen the newer you. 

Try to avoid negative thoughts and people. Such thoughts and words tend to self limit your potential and make you go weak.

If you believe in your plans, you focus on your direction and make changes only if you wish to, regardless of what others say. This approach would make you jump over the limitations that block your way. 

Lastly, enjoy life and take things as they come. When you are happy and content, your mind will work faster and success will come your way more easily.

Hold on hard to your dreams, take control of your life and set ahead to enjoy the journey with a newer you.
