"What
Really Makes You Tick?" 10 questions you should ask to
yourself : a preparation to self-improvement
Be all you can be, but it's not always in the Army. I
often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the
way things are, but of course it's hard to think of
anything else when where are real issues to be
discussed.
Still I aspire for something
deeper and more meaningful.
So we're all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn't
even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought
to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live
within us, even though it would be short-lived or as
long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you
can't teach an old dog new tricks… or can they?
1. What do I really want?
The question of the ages. So many things you want to do
with your life and so little time to even go about
during the day.
Find something that you are good at can help realize
that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the
key to know that it is worth it.
2. Should I really change?
Today's generation has taken another level of redefining
'self', or at least that's what the kids are saying.
Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught
me that there are far worse things that they could have
had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does
that fit into your lifestyle?
If history has taught us one thing, it's the life that
we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies
style wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, but
dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after
showing them how to really dance than break their bones
in break-dancing.
3. What's the bright side in all of this?
With so much is happening around us there seem to be no
room for even considering that light at the end of the
tunnel. We can still see it as something positive
without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it's a train
at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see
what makes the world go round!
4. Am I comfortable with what I'm doing?
There's always the easy way and the right way when it
comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse,
shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a genius to see
yourself as someone unique, or else we'll all be equally
the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very
interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.
5. Have I done enough for myself?
Have you, or is there something more you want to do?
Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large
doses, but in small amounts you'll be able to see and do
stuff you could never imagine doing.
6. Am I happy at where I am today?
It's an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love
being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then
take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The
same goes with everyday life!
7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
So maybe I don't have an answer to that, but that
doesn't mean I can't try it, though. Whether you
shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair,
or even your attitude towards people, you should always
remember it will always be for your own benefit.
8. How much could I have?
I suppose in this case there is no such things on having
things too much or too little, but it's more on how
badly you really need it. I'd like to have lots of
money, no denying that, but the question is that how
much are you willing to work for it?
9. What motivates me?
What motivates you? It's an answer you have to find out
for yourself. There are so many things that can make
everyone happy, but to choose one of the may be the
hardest part. It's not like you can't have one serving
of your favorite food in a buffet and that's it. Just
try it piece by piece.
10. What Really Makes You Tick?
So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about
anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that
attaining something that may seem very difficult is
already giving up before you even start that journey.
Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about
the physical or philosophical change you have to
undergo, but it's something that you really want. |
