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 real
issues to be discussed are.
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 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 you 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 are 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.
