Everything that happens to us happens in purpose. And sometimes, one thing leads to another. Instead of locking yourself up in your cage of fears and crying over past heartaches, embarrassment and failures, treat them as your teachers and they will become your tools in both self improvement and success.
I remember watching Patch Adams – its my favorite movie, actually. Its one great film that will help you improve yourself. Hunter “patch” Adams is a medical student who failed to make it through the board exams. After months of suffering in melancholy, depression and suicidal attempts – he decided to seek for medical attention and voluntarily admitted himself in a psychiatric ward. His months of stay in the hospital led him to meeting different kinds of people. Sick people in that matter. He met a catatonic, a mentally retarded, a schizophrenic and so on. Patch found ways of treating his own ailment and finally realized he has to get back on track. He woke up one morning realizing that after all the failure and pains he has gone through, he still want to become the a doctor. He carries with himself a positive attitude that brought him self improvement and success. He didn’t only improved himself, but also the life of the people around him and the quality of life. Did he succeed? Needless to say, he became the best damn doctor his country has ever known.
So, when does self improvement become synonymous with success? Where do we start? Take these tips, friends…
*Stop thinking and feeling as if you’re a failure, because you’re not. How can others accept you if YOU can’t accept YOU?
*When you see hunks and models on TV, think more on self improvement, not self pitying. Self acceptance is not just about having nice slender legs, or great abs. Concentrate on inner beauty.

Imagine yourself as a Dart Board. Everything and everybody else around you may become Dart Pins, at one point or another. These dart pins will destroy your self confidence and pull you down in ways you won’t even remember. Don’t let them destroy you, or get the best of you. So which dart pins should you avoid?
1)Negative Work Environment
Beware of “dog eat dog” theory where everyone else is fighting just to get ahead. This is where non-appreciative people usually thrive. No one will appreciate your contributions even if you miss lunch and dinner, and stay up late. Most of the time you get to work too much without getting help from people concerned. Stay out of this, it will ruin your self confidence. Competition is at stake anywhere. Be healthy enough to compete, however in a healthy competition that’s.
2) Other People’s Behavior
Bulldozers, brown nosers, gossipmongers, whiners, backstabbers, snipers, people walking wounded, controllers, naggers, complainers, exploders, patronizers, sluffers… all these kinds of people will pose bad vibes for your self esteem, as well as to your self improvement scheme.
3) Altering Environment
You can’t be a green bug on a brown field. Changes challenge our paradigms. It tests our flexibility, adaptability and changes the way we think. Changes will make life difficult for awhile, it may cause stress however it will help us find ways to improve our selves. Change will be there forever, we must be susceptible to it.
4) Past Experience
It’s okay to cry and say “ouch!” when we experience pain. However don’t let pain transform itself into fear. It might grab you by the tail and swing you around. Treat each failure and mistake as a lesson.
5) Negative World View
Look at what you’re looking at. Don’t wrap yourself up with all the negativities of the world. In building self esteem, we must learn how to make the best out of worst situations.

Are you utilizing your true potential? Did you know that most people do not? Some people tend to settle for less than they can be do have in life. They make excuses for themselves saying that they can not do any better than what they are currently doing. They feel because they have reached one goal they should not set anymore.
Life can be full of challenges however if you are not constantly working towards goals you have set for yourself then chances are you will not live life to its fullest. You do possess so much potential and when you begin to change your habits and become more positive life will begin to go the way you envision it.
Begin at once to realize your true potential and have faith that whatever you set your heart to will become a reality. Quit down talking to yourself and saying things like ” I am not worthy” “I am not good enough” “I can not do that” whatever you are saying to yourself that is negative, change your words. Begin believing in yourself and saying positive affirmations throughout the day.
The more you constantly tell yourself that you do have the true potential to do anything the more your subconscious will believe it and your goals will begin becoming a reality. So what is it that you desire? Write it down and then take the steps to move forward towards it, do not become disappointed if it does not become a reality right away. Remember to always be willing to take a detour if something is not working out the way you desire.
One of the things people do (I have done this as well) is when we want something we tend to stay on the same path regardless of results. We can reach our goals more easily when we are willing to be open to taking detours. We must always remember that when one door closes another one will open for us.
