EVERYDAY DO SOMETHING THAT WILL INCH YOU CLOSER TO A BETTER TOMORROW
Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine-Jack Ma

act we perform today impacts our life in one way or other.
We

better tomorrow means to do something Everyday, do something which will

Everyone wants to have a better future, but does everyone get it?
Everyone wants to have a better future, but does everyone get it?
There

But it depends on you, how hard do you push when you face obstacles?
How many times do you get back afterlife has beaten you down time and

HOW TO IMPROVE YOURSELF:
1. Appreciate the under-appreciated:
Some
jobs require more effort than skill. The difference is in the effort.
All around you are people who work hard with little or no recognition. Vow to be the person who recognizes at least one of them every day.
Do
more than say “thanks” to a person who does a thankless job. Exchange a
kind word. Not only will you give respect, you’ll also gain the best
kind of respect — the respect that comes from making a difference,
however fleeting, in another person’s life.
2. Answer the “unasked” question:
For
a variety of reasons — maybe they’re hesitant, or insecure, or
shy — people often ask a different question than the one they really
want answered.
Behind
many questions is an unasked question. Pay attention so you can answer
that question; that is the answer the other person doesn’t just want to
hear… but needs to hear.
3. Don’t wait for anything:
You
don’t have to wait to be discovered. You don’t have to wait for an
okay. You don’t have to wait for someone else to help you. You can just
do whatever you want to do. You may not succeed. But you don’t have to
wait.
4. Appreciate whatever you have:
You
have big plans. You have big goals. You’re never satisfied, because
satisfaction breeds complacency. So most of the time you’re unhappy
because you think more about what you have not achieved, have not done,
and do not have.
Take a moment and think about what you do have, professionally and personally. At this moment you have more than at one time you ever thought possible. Sure,
always strive for more… but always take a moment to realize that all
the things you have, especially your relationships, are more important
than anything you want to have.
Appreciate whatever you have, because it’s real, and it’s awesome and it’s YOURS.
5. Love your work:
Love
your work, when you’re working, that feeling shows in everything you
say and do. Love is a feeling, and feelings are often selfish. Turn your
feelings into an action. Actively love the people you love. Show them
you love them by words and deeds.
6. Be Yourself:
You
worry about what other people think. Yet no matter how hard you try,
you can’t be all things to all people. But you can be as many things as
possible to the people you love. And you can become the best version of
yourself.
Be yourself, that’s the one thing you can always do better than anyone else.
7. Set Goals:
Set
goals for yourself, where you want to see yourself after 6months, one
year, or 2years. Don’t get upset if you can’t do this right away. Start
small and just begin to visualize.
8. Accept Failure
Newsflash
you are going to fail. You are going to fail many times in life.
Failing is Okay. In fact, you should embrace failure. When you stretch
beyond your comfort zone, you are growing as a person. It is only
natural that you will fail. Don’t fall for the lie that failing is bad.
9. Learn a New Skill
Learning
a new skill breeds confidence in us. When we learn something new, we
get excited and are eager to learn more. This increases our self
confidence and we grow and want to learn more. It’s a cycle that fuels
itself.
So
what is it that you have always wanted to learn but always put off?
Write a short list of things and then start working on learning those
new skills
10. Don’t waste Time:
Take
some time to understand how you waste time and become more productive
with your time. Read more. Learn about something new. Spend more time
with loved ones. These are self growth activities that will lead to
happiness and success.
11. Deal with Negative Thoughts and Emotions:
You will always have critics, including yourself. You need to learn to deal with any negative thoughts and emotions you have.
At first, you may find this difficult to do. But over time, controlling your thoughts will become easier.
Understand that negative thoughts will always be with us.
12. Surround yourself with Positive People:
If
you are always hanging around with unmotivated people, you too will be
unmotivated to succeed in life. On the other hand, if you hang around
with successful people, you too will find success.
13. Reflect:
At
the end of the day, reflect on what happened. Was it a good day? Even
if bad things happened, find ways to spin them into something positive.
In other words, don’t let the negative thoughts take root in your mind.
Be thankful for all that happened to you today and vow to be an even
better person tomorrow.
14. Overcome your Fears:
All
of us have fears. Fear of uncertainty, fear of public speaking, fear of
risk… All our fears keep us in the same position and prevent us from
growing. Recognize that your fears reflect areas where you can grow. I
always think of fears as the compass for growth. If I have a fear about
something, it represents something I’ve yet to address, and addressing
it helps me to grow.
15. Ask for feedback:
As
much as we try to improve, we will always have blind spots. Asking for
feedback gives us an additional perspective. Some people to approach
will be friends, family, colleagues, boss, or even acquaintances, since
they will have no preset bias and can give their feedback objectively.
ASK YOURSELF:
If what you are doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow?
How much effort you put in today to guarantee the future? To guarantee the empire that you dreamed of as a kid?
Most of us claim that we have been working hard because we got tired.
You
worked until you got tired. Tired is not equal to hard work. It’s how
hard you work after you get tired. When you get tired, that is when the
real work starts.
If
you want better than average, you have to work harder than the average
to get the desired result in the future. If you want greatness, your
effort must be greater than great. Your level of effort equals your
level of results.
Give your all every day, every minute of every day. Your best effort in each present moment, will lead to your best future moments.
Leave
the past behind, so you can focus on your future. We must let go of our
past pain, our struggle, our story, not because it wasn’t important but
because your future is more important.
Leave the darkness of your past behind so you can focus on letting the light of your future.
DO THESE THINGS FOR A BETTER TOMORROW:
- Learn to love yourself, because if you appreciate the person you are, you will be able to ooze love and appreciation to everyone else around you. You won’t have moments of insecurities or uncertainty.
- Get rid of the things you don’t need in your life and replace them with things that bring you happiness and success.
- Put your best foot forward and never let yourself turn up under dressed and without the enthusiasm your life deserves.
- Be happy for yourself and for others.
- Create opportunities for yourself and others
- Never sacrifice your integrity.
- Change the behaviors you have that you don’t like, don’t just accept them.
- Challenge yourself and push yourself to do better, to be better and to make a difference to the world you live in.
- Love unconditionally in a way that people will remember you for long after you have left this world.
LET’S TAKE EXAMPLE OF MICHAEL PHELPS
Michael Phelps
is considered the greatest Olympian swimmer of all time. Everyone
thought that no swimmer would be able to win 8 gold medals in just one
Olympic Games. Michael
did just that and he has 19 Olympic medals, 15 of which are gold! The
remarkable thing about him is that as a child he suffered from ADHD and was on medication for some of that time. Most people assume that people with ADHD
suffer from restlessness, impulsiveness and a very short attention
span. But they also have an incredible capacity to remain hyper focused
on an activity they are passionate about. Michael has been able to use
this with enormous success. By channeling his energy and focus, he has
been able to exploit the positive side of ADHD.
Phelps
has shown that he can beat the most disciplined and strongest swimmers
in the world and is an inspiring example to anyone who suffers from a
mental disorder or other disability. He has another secret in that he uses the power of visualizing success before he starts any swim. He started this process when he was only 7 years old. He realized there were no limits to success and once you are passionate about your objective, nothing can stop you.
CONCLUSION
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
· The pain that you feel today will be the strength that you will feel tomorrow.
· The future depends on what you do today.
· Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
· You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.
· Start everyday with a new hope, leave bad memories behind, and have faith for a better tomorrow.
