If you are looking for self-improvement then make sure you are ready to take up new challenges in life. There is soon going to be a drift between who you are and who you want to be, present and the future. Here are few ways that can help you improve yourself.
The first step in any personal development technique is that you first accept your identity. It is quite normal to accept yourself in various aspects of life from career, relationships or friendship. But if you are looking for scope for improvement then you will have to reject your current status as you will soon get a new one. This does not mean that you will completely reject yourself rather how you can improve your identity without losing the current one. It is like creating a better version of you without compromising any current features. It would be something like upgrading your current operating system but the file systems will remain intact. You are not changing your nature rather adding better things to it.
By all this you get close to the most real nature of yourself. One is born as a beautiful person but things change in life and one gets derailed and the rest of the life is spent in regaining that initial innocence you possessed, just like fall of Adam and Eve from paradise. So, improving yourself is not changing rather it is becoming more you.
In order to improve you one needs to leave their comfort zone. They need to go out, struggle in life and then only real improvement can come through. A place with perfect equilibrium, everything in perfect proportion, without any challenges or dramas is a useless place to live in. one becomes static in such an atmosphere and progress stops then and there. This should not be the case, mind should never stop. And that is the reason why we need to leave our comfort zone and seek challenges. Elements like excitement, enthusiasm and surprise are important in life but you will them all if you are never courageous enough to leave your comfort zone. Imagine, create and play.
If you truly want to give meaning to your life, take risks. No one has gained anything without taking risks. One should be capable enough to take risks, try out new activities, new things of which the outcome is unknown. Playing safe is an old saying now. There should be mixture of risks and dreams in life; it will be a really beautiful scenario. The comfort zone has completely vanished. In order to settle in this new world, you will find a better version of yourself who is capable of doing things which you have never imagined. This would be called ‘living’.
In the process be prepared to lose something like your friends, family or close connections but ultimately you will be able to find yourself. It is quite obvious that you are like to lose some old features in the new version. Be prepared for the risks, fun, excitement, thrill and evolution which await you.
