Keep Changing for the Better, Improvement brings Perfection
Some years back, a young lady was employed in my office. A very intelligent lady but her appearance was not tidy. Her clothes and shoes were oversized. After her training, she was posted to resume at another branch.
A few months later, I visited her new branch. A beautiful, smart-looking young lady walked up to me smiling. I didn’t recognize her at all until she introduced herself. It was the same lady but she looked so different. She had transformed completely into a stunning woman. Her entire outfit looked smart and gorgeous. I was amazed at how fast she had worked at improving herself.
Whenever you have the opportunity to improve yourself, go for it and be determined to keep improving. It could be in career, business, family life, relationship, academics, fitness regime, etc. Life is not designed to be stagnant. There is always room for growth, expansion, improvement, and greater achievements.
When friends or classmates reunite or gather after a long time, the first thing most people do is to find out what has changed about their friends over the years. Life becomes more interesting when there is growth and improvement.
Therefore, don’t be satisfied with the status quo. Make effort to constantly find ways to improve. Strive to become a better you each day. Whatever you are doing now, you can do it better. There is always room at the top.
As believers, God expects us to increase daily. That is why he gives us new benefits each day. He also tells us from his word, that the path of the righteous is as the morning light, that shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day, (Proverbs 4:18).
Six guidelines to improving daily in any area of life
- Look for areas that need improvement in your life
- Get relevant knowledge and training in the area where you need to improve. If it is in your marriage, read books on marriage, attend seminars and retreats that teach on marriage. This is also applicable to other areas of life.
- Have a plan that shows how you intend to make the necessary changes.
- Set daily targets and goals for yourself.
- Start work on achieving your goals. Apply the knowledge you have acquired practically.
- Remain consistent and the results will soon start showing.
Never assume it’s too late or impossible to improve your life. I have seen students who have moved from the bottom to the top of their classes. Make the effort, pay the price, and don’t look back. Both you and your world need a better you. Go for it.
