How To Become A Better You

If you are reading this you obviously have some areas in your life that you want to improve on

. There is not a thing wrong with wanting to improve. Every man, woman, and child on this earth should want to become a better person. My definition of a fool is the person who feels that he or she knows everything. A wise man is constantly trying to learn and to do better. It is obvious to me that in order to change things for the better we must try to change ourselves. We honestly have no control over outside influences. We can only control the way that we react.

King Solomon who was the wisest man of all time wrote about the ants in the book of proverbs. He had obviously studied the ants and noted their work ethic. He wrote about how they gathered in plentiful times to have food for the winter. He tells us to consider the ways of the ant and do likewise.

Your question may be how do I do this? The only way is to learn how to change our patterns or habits. Patterns have taken a lifetime to develop so they are not going to change overnight. It is going to take sustained effort. There will be times when you fall back into old habits. Dont get discouraged when this happens. Over time it should happen less and less. We must relearn in order to repair those bad habits and negative patterns that we have developed over our lifetimes.

I was attempting to change a pattern in my life once that I had determined was negative.

I determined that the habit went all of the way back to my childhood. I noticed that this behavior didnt really surface until I was in a conversation with a family member. I could not cut this member off so I limited contact with them. When I would talk to them I would be alert for the conversation which triggered the behavior in me. I would immediately but politely terminate the conversation when I realized that the conversation was turning to gossip. After a long period of time the tone of our conversation has changed. I seldom get caught up in this anymore and neither does that family member.

The thing that you should do is to write down the negative behaviors. Study them daily and try to avoid them. Stick to your guns. Remember that change is slow and painful. You must stick to the plan. You will discover after a period of time that you are gaining control over the negative actions. Eventually you will win. Go back each week and update your list. Dont eliminate a problem area until there is no doubt that you have overcome. It may take you months but thats OK. The main thing is that you continue to progress.

The main thing is that you review your list several times each day in order to keep on track. Write it down so you wont forget. Dont commit it to memory. Wait six months before you delete an item from your list. Keep on taking small steps. Eventually you will reach your goal.
