Here is an extract from something that someone sent to me (based on Self Improvement Topic by John C Maxwell)
In my life, I choose daily to improve in several key areas: intellectually, physically, relationally, and spiritually. These daily improvements aren't necessarily huge; in fact, taken individually, they may seem rather minor. But, as I once heard a teacher explain, "Daily goals are reached by doing things which may be uncomfortable at first, but eventually will become habits. And habits are powerful things. Habits turn actions into attitudes, and attitudes into lifestyles."
You may classify areas of potential improvement differently than I do. But the categories you choose to work on aren't nearly as important as your overall commitment to improve. Are you improving every day? Have you developed the daily discipline to say, "I'm working in these specific areas"? Do you have a clearly defined target—a way to know when you've achieved your desired result?
Whether you want to hone your public speaking skills, become a better listener, lose weight, get more organized, or advance in some other way, here are some insights about improvement that will help to guide you as you grow.
1. Don't be afraid to admit you were wrong.
Acknowledging your mistakes proves you're wiser today than you were yesterday. If you never admit you're wrong, you're saying, "I'm not growing; I'm not wiser."
2. You will never change your life, until you change something that you do daily.
This is a huge concept to grasp. People always tell me, "I'm going to make some major changes.' My response to that is simple: Certain aspects of your life might need a significant overhaul, but I don't need to know about those big changes. I'm more interested in the minor change you plan to make today. Personal improvement starts when you change something you do daily—a routine, a habit, a way of working, or interacting with other people.
