How Do I Become A Better Me?

First of all I don’t know you from anyone else so I can’t specifically tell you what you need to do. That is not the object of this post. We all can improve in one way or another. The object of this post is to focus on process.

The first step to self improvement in my opinion is to be self directed. We can not improve if our self esteem is guided by what we perceive to be the thoughts of others. No one person on this earth is better or more than any other person. My self esteem must be driven from within. When we react to what we think are the perceptions of others we make a drastic mistake. We can’t value the opinions of others over our own opinions of self.

When we begin to change our behavior to accommodate the perceptions we create a negative spiral that I will call a self fulfilling prophecy. Our actions begin to change to please those whose opinions that we place over our own. This causes that person to lose respect for you. People naturally have greater respect for self directed people.

The other directed person will observe these new clues and try even harder to please. This causes the outside person to lose even more respect. This causes a downward spiral called a self fulfilling prophecy.

The human being has a natural tendency to want to be superior to other humans. We were not put on this earth to be superior but to be equal. We must understand that no one man or woman is better than the other. You are no more than I and I am no more than you. You must learn to be self directed. People who abuse substances rely on those things for assurance rather than learning how to be self assured.

Don’t let your situation in life determine your self worth. Some people are the victims of circumstance and some are the benefactors of circumstance. You should learn how to play the hand that life deals you. If you don’t have good cards do something with the bad ones, if you use your head you can get them to work for you. You just have to make the best of the situation. Find a way to make something work for you.
