Self Improvement & External Factors

*Previous relevant post: Some Free Self Improvement Advice to Stay Happy.

It depends on the individual whether the person wants to have self improvement. Plenty of folks have goals, dreams, ambitions, etc but they do not know how to achieve them. They have no idea how to begin, start making plans & take the required actions to make their dreams a reality.

The idea with some people is that they view self improvement as vague. They think that by having a better job, or given better opportunities, meeting their true love then everything would be fine & they would be happy. Do you notice the pattern with the above examples? All of the above are external factors & those who depend on external factors will probably feel that their happiness or lack of it has nothing to do with their own thought or actions.

I include myself in the above category of people but the difference is that I go & find the external factor & make it mine. Find what you want & go for it! What you may find will probably not be exactly what you expect but there lies the beauty of things; & your decisions will show your true human character. Committing yourself to self improvement & personal growth (career, financial, social, & etc) is a critical factor in how one’s future will reveal itself.
