Self-Improvement
The first step would be self-evaluation.
We all have a selective view of ourselves. A carefully drafted beautiful image of " Our-self "
Just like when we look into a mirror, we stand in a most flattering pose, showing pleasing expressions.

We all have a selective view of ourselves. A carefully drafted beautiful image of " Our-self "
Just like when we look into a mirror, we stand in a most flattering pose, showing pleasing expressions.
When we want our pictures taken, we adjust our pose; fix up the dress and hair, put up a big smile on the face.
We want to look our best.
In the same way, we have created an image of ourselves that emphasizes the most admirable qualities and minimizes or omits the defects and shortcomings. We see our image as we wish to see - Not the reality.
So when we begin to focus on self-evaluation, instead of a carefully edited image of ourselves, we should focus on the uncensored truth even though certain aspects of our real image may not be very good and hard to accept.
Acceptance is the first step towards improvement. First, we must acknowledge and accept our shortcomings, defects, and weaknesses.
Desire and determination to change are the next big steps.

ReplyDeleteUsually Blogs lack depth for serious learning. They are good for intellectual entertainment (in a good sense), announcements (again in good sense -- for example announcing some new ideas, new articles, new products), "general interests" reading. Not the case with your post though, really enjoyed it reading it and it held my attention all the way through!
