Self-Improvement As It Applies To You
by Robert Taylor

How does self-improvement apply to each of us?  There is no
one system or technique which applies equally across the board.
There are numerous books, articles, teachers, techniques and
schools of thought to guide us in our quest for self-improvement.

There are a number of common threads running throughout all
of these.  Here are just a few of them:

     Treat others as you wish to be treated.

     You become what you constantly think about.

     You determine what you are and what you will be by the
     choices you make.

     When you honestly and deeply believe something it will
     become true.

     Eat, breathe and live as though you were wealthy and
     you will become wealthy.

     When your main focus is on lack and poverty you will
     continue to be poor and lacking.

     Visualize what you wish as though it were true right
     now and not at some future date.

     Take action on your wishes (dreams, desires).

     Life is but a journey which is taken one step at a
     time.  All we ever have is the step we are currently
     taking.

     The Kingdom of Heaven is within (know thyself, go into
     yourself to seek the truth, the inner journey is the most
     important).

All of these and the other common threads will apply to and
be used by each of us in a different manner.  What works for
one person may not necessarily hold true for another.  While
it is true we can learn from others, we alone can make our
journey.  Nobody can do it for us.

We must take these teachings and doctrines and adapt them
to our own unique needs, desires and wishes.  We do this
through self-study and observation to find those areas in
which we need growth and development.

In conjunction with this, we need to research and study
many different doctrines and teachings.  From these we can
determine those things that attract us and strike the note
of truth within.  You will know when something has the ring
of truth to it.

A whole doctrine or line of teaching may only contain one
or two principles which will apply to you, however these
may be critical to your development.  Try to be as open-
minded as possible, but always verify the truth of the
principle for yourself.

Never accept anything as being the truth for you until you
have verified it for your own purposes.  Another's truth
may well be the direct opposite of your truth.

So long as you seek self-improvement and development you
cannot fail.  You will undoubtedly become discouraged at
times because of a lack of any perceived gains.  Should
you feel you have hit a brick wall, simply regroup and
try another technique or strategy.

No matter what you do or what happens, just do not quit.
Those who continue to seek self-development and growth
always win.  It is simply a matter of time.

I wish you great satisfaction in your journey through life.
