Everybody Needs Self-Improvement!

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Life will take you only as far as you are prepared to go. Sadly, too many people miss the challenge and the privilege of excelling in what they do, simply because they put limitations in their abilities and barriers to new frontiers!

Those, however, who recognize that there is much more to life than what is obvious before one’s eyes, will make every effort to continue advancing into new ventures, creating new projects, making valid new contributions to much that can benefit from their input!

Contemporary author and speaker, Jon Acuff, wisely addressed this important issue, when he challenged: “You can’t be anything you want, but you can be something even better: the best version of you.”

In attempting to meet this achievable possibility, learn to offer an emphatic no to anything that might deceive you, and impede the realization of positive challenges you had committed yourself to with an unequivocal yes!

Throughout life you face a continual series of great possibilities which can lead you forward instead of keeping you paralyzed and incapable of advancing. Satisfaction with mediocrity will never bring anyone to achievement, and that condition will be the portion of any person disinterested in experiencing self-improvement.

At the same time it’s imperative that you also learn to recognize and remedy personal signs of decay long before they become a fatal reality. Be observant of where you are, where you are heading, how you may conquer certain fears and inevitable challenges, besides the ways of overcoming other conditions which can easily turn out into obstacles that would prevent or prolong your diligent attempts!

Never limit your self-improvement to one aspect of your life only; attempt to get better in every area of your being, by acting comprehensively in your personal search for the best! You may also meet with a personal development coach to help with your personal development journey. Take to heart the challenge of some branch of our Armed Forces which states: “The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.” It’s action, not inactivity; it’s decisiveness, not hesitation; it’s courage, not fear, that demonstrate self-improvement in one’s self, and in the final product envisioned!
