Morning Inspiration!

When we look at a certain object, a painting, for example, we won't be able to appreciate what's in it, what is painted and what else that goes with or happen on it if the painting is just an inch away from our face. But if we try to take it a little further, we'll have a clearer vision of the whole artwork.
We reach a point in our life when we are ready for change and a whole bunch of information that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. Until then, something can be staring us right under our nose but we don't see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything got worst. Take the frog principle for example.
Try placing Frog A in a pot of boiling water. What happens? He twerps! He jumps off! Why? Because he is not able to tolerate the sudden change in his environment — the water's temperature. Then try Frog B: place him in a lukewarm water, then turn the gas stove on. Wait till the water reaches a certain boiling point. Frog B then thinks "Ooho it's a bit warm in here".
People are like Frog B in general. Today, Anna thinks Carl hates her. Tomorrow, Patrick walks up to her and told her he hates her. Anna stays calm and does not mind what her friends say. The next day, she learned that Kim and John also abhor her. Anna does not realize at once the importance and the need for self-improvement until the entire community hates her.
We learn our lessons when we experience pain. We finally see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and tough. When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our jeans and shirts would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. When do we pray and ask for help? When we realize that we would die tomorrow.
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is crashing and falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. But change becomes more painful when we ignore it.
A change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to experience different turning points in our lives and we are all going to eventually unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, not because our friends are nagging us, but because we realized its for our own good.
Happy people don't just accept change, they embrace it. Now, you don't have to feel a tremendous heat before realizing the need for self-improvement. Unlocking your self-improvement power means unlocking yourself up in the cage of thought that "its just the way I am". It is such a poor excuse for people who fear and resist change. Most of us programme our minds like computers.
Self-improvement may not be everybody's favourite word, but if we look at things in a different point of view, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result to a healthier life, reading books instead of looking at porn will shape up a more profound knowledge, going out with friends and peers will help you take a step back from work and unwind. And just when you are enjoying the whole process of unlocking your self-improve meet power, you will realize you're beginning to take things lightly and become HAPPY.
Do have yourself a great day.
Do have yourself a great day.
