Self Improvement: How Come So Many Individuals Don't Pay It The Respect It Deserves?

I'm a self improvement strategist, and if I'm honest with you, I'm embarking upon my on small personal battle... this will become HUGE if I get my own way.

Self improvement, or personal development, has got to be the MOST critical thing in life, PERIOD! I mean, everything you say or do is influenced, probably solely, by a person's brain. Fair enough, right? I don't believe many people, if any, will argue with that...

It never ceases to amaze me how many people who believe this statement to be true but when I go on to ask these same people, whether they are living their, dare I say it, DREAM life, they look at me blankly and utter in a solemn tone of voice, “Uh... no” or “... Nope” or even “ I've never thought about. Urrrrmmm... I don't Know”...

If that wasn't bad enough, I proceed to ask the individual, “Would you like me to teach you some of my self improvement strategies?” I always then mention, “You can Live Your DREAM Life quicker and easier than you might think!” At first, I didn't think they'd be able to resist the proposal...

BUT, just when it seemed it couldn't get any worse, they'd reply something along the lines of, “Next year sounds good, if that's OK with you!” or “I'm NOT that interested about self improvement, or Personal development for that mater!”...

If you know me, you'll probably be able to guess what goes through my mind when this happens. I can't tell what I feel like saying, if I did, this article certainly wouldn't have been published. You see, I genuinely love and care for people. Life is just TOO PRECIOUS to waste and not even TRY to improve it!...

Sometimes, I manage to bite my lip, but I need to do it tightly, otherwise I'll probably not get back the same amount of love that I have for that particular person, and believe me, I am talking from experience - That's why I bite it so tightly nowadays.

But the saga continues because I'm left with a decision to make. First, do I stay, or do I go? Me being me, I stay put and attempt to reconsider my offer and start showing self improvement the respect it's due. It's stupid of me to do this, but I just can't help it, I'm fanatical about self improvement and living live to the FULLEST...

But, SHOCK HORROR, I'm not embraced for my efforts. In fact, the person usually starts hating on ME for trying to help THEM with what they have already agreed is a problem in their life, and a MASSIVE problem by their own admission.

This is the reason why I've realised I HAVE to change my approach and teach self improvement and personal development INDIRECTLY. Why? Firstly, I WON'T give up without a fight, I feel it's my duty NOT to! Secondly, because of these experiences I've been through, I fully recognise that people DON'T gravitate to what they NEED, but instead, to what they WANT. Any how, yes, I do love and care about people, but I certainly don't love it when theye abuse!

So, what's my personal battle?...

In case you haven't guessed already, my crusade is teaching the WORLD about self improvement and showing the WORLD how to, and why they should, live their DREAM life! I know this is on the same sort of scale as trying to boil the ocean, however, my passion for self improvement and personal development is probably way bigger than the ocean...

With that said, I suppose I better get on with it. Cross you fingers for me!...
