Self Improvement

I've said it before, I'll say it again...perfection can not be attained. It is impossible. Yet we can strive for it, and in our attempts to become a better person, we shall succeed in doing our best to make the world a better place. By improving ourselves, we improve the world around us. Of course there are so many things we have to worry about, or to be concerned with that can cloud our vision and make us lose our way. Everyday concerns from laundry, to paying bills can cause us to have a less positive outlook and therefore, lose momentum in our quest for self improvement. These things happen, yet it is during these times of trial that we can find ourselves rising above, and finding the ability to move forward and fight past feelings of doubt. It is usually during the darkest times that we find what we are made of.

Don't give up. Ever. You will never attain perfection, but every attempt at rising above sadness and despair brings us one step closer to where we need to be. We must find our place of balance, our inner peace. We can not achieve that state with negative thoughts raging and taking over our consciousness. It's rather like quiting smoking, or finally deciding to lose weight. Just decide to do it, and take charge. Don't let negative thoughts be the monkey on your back. Don't let other people and their negative outlook spoil your view of the world.

Set yourself free by just trying. Take in the beauty of the world, one day at a time.
