Things I want to improve on in my life.
Jul. 3rd, 2008 01:03 amTonight I started thinking about how I can improve as a human being. I ended up coming up with a few things that I feel I can start working on now. The list follows.
I went to work on being more generous. I used to go out of my way to do a good deed of the day. I should strive to at least get back to the old creed and try to improve to much more then a single good deed a day. Going out of my way to help someone should not be a pain but a pleasure.
I want to be more outgoing, less shy and quiet. I am by nature someone who likes to listen and while that is great and all I need to speak up more. An easy way yo start is just by asking more questions when I am around people.
I went to be more positive about where I am. In a conversation I recently had with a friend he
quoted form a book that had a interesting prospective. Paraphrased it goes "she awoke early to witness the first miracle of the day. The right eye of god raising over the desert, brighting the valley below." I need to view each day nay each moment as a reason to witness the glory and beauty of life and the world that I inhabit. Another thing I can choose to do to is keep close to my heart that the only emotions I have worth showing to the world or positive ones. Worry, Sadness, hate , anger, and self pity are not emotions that people want to be around and in addition to that they do nothing to help the situation. I could worry about things but how does that help me get things done.
The last thing I need to improve on is my will to get things done. All the things I wrote above mean squat if I don't make the effort to work on them. And that truly is the first thing I need to work on.
