Self Improvement


A person should ask him or herself what it is they want to improve. Is it wealth, health, employment, or something else? After giving these things considerable thought, I felt I should improve myself first. I need to know me, who I really am and how I feel about important things in my life; How do I want to appear to others around me, What are my thoughts on government, the church, and my family. What values do I really want to adopt as my own? We as humans have the ability to make decisions on how we want to think, speak, and act. We have the ability to change our character at any time. If I’m not happy with what I see in myself I can re-create me. Maybe if I change me, all the other things will fall into place.  Sometimes the question “What is wrong with me” could be a fair question to ask yourself. To examine one-self might be to improve one’s self.     “I am not who I think I am, I am not what you think I am, But I am what I think, you think I am”~ Robert Harold Schuller. The quote above by Reverend Schuller really had an impact on me years ago.  I never thought about why I acted this or that way at any given time. I am like a leaf in the wind; I can be anything the world wants me to be. “If you want me to be Satan I can, if you want me to be Jesus Christ I can”~ Charles Manson. Call Charles Manson what you want, but don’t call him stupid. There is a lot of truth to his words. You have the power to be anything you want to be. How will you use it? Until next time.
