Improve Yourself This Way

First step, introspection.

Before one embarks on any self-improvement journey, it is necessary to first find the problem. Honesty with self is required to determine where you are and how you got there in the first place.

Once you've established the root of the problem, you start brainstorming ways to solve the issue. ‘How can I change this situation?’

The mistake we often make is staying too long on the ‘how-to-fix-it' stage. This is how people jump from one self-help book to another without ever getting down to solving the problem. We keep searching for more information, not realising that all we have to do is start.

Perfectionism keeps most of us on the edge. Each time you're about to take that leap of faith, fear of not being sufficiently prepared stops you.

So, just do it. You'll probably suck the first time around and it might hurt your feelings. There's power in consistency, keep going. If it's important, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse.
