10 questions you should ask to yourself: a preparation to self-improvement
Be all you can be, but it's not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course it's hard to think of anything else when where are real issues to be discussed.
Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.
So we're all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn't even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks� or can they?
1. What do I really want?
The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.
Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.
2. Should I really change?
Today's generation has taken another
level of redefining 'self', or at least that's what the kids are saying.
Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there
are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even
promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?
If history has taught us one thing, it's the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to really dance than break their bones in break-dancing.
3. What's the bright side in all of this?
With so much is
happening around us there seem to be no room for even considering that
light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something
positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it's a train at the
end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go
round!
4. Am I comfortable with what I'm doing?
There's always the easy
way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which
shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a genius to see
yourself as someone unique, or else we'll all be equally the same in
everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting
questions to be experimented.
5. Have I done enough for myself?
Have you, or is there something
more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in
large doses, but in small amounts you'll be able to see and do stuff you
could never imagine doing.
6. Am I happy at where I am today?
It's an unfair question so let
it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your
kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same
goes with everyday life!
7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
So maybe I don't have an
answer to that, but that doesn't mean I can't try it, though. Whether
you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your
attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be
for your own benefit.
8. How much could I have?
I suppose in this case there is no such
things on having things too much or too little, but it's more on how
badly you really need it. I'd like to have lots of money, no denying
that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it?
9. What motivates me?
What motivates you? It's an answer you have
to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make
everyone happy, but to choose one of the may be the hardest part. It's
not like you can't have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet
and that's it. Just try it piece by piece.
10. What Really Makes You Tick?
So? What really makes you tick?
You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize
that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving
up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that
self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change
you have to undergo, but it's something that you really want.
