How To Improve Yourself - Self Honesty, Being & Doing

[Logan]

"We humans have a deep need to think highly of ourselves. If that opinion of our goodness, greatness, and brilliance diverges enough from reality, we become grandiose. We imagine our superiority."

                    -Robert Greene   (The Laws of Human Nature) - Law 11

 

"Man will only become better when you make him see what he is like."    

                    -Anton Chekhov

 

In order to overcome a limitation or shadow within yourself, so that you may grow out of it, try the following:

1) Recognize the extent of your ignorance, weakness, and/or lack of skill in a given area.

2) Accept the harsh truth that you aren't as special or talented as you thought you were in that area.

3) Expect ego backlash from this realization.

4) Meditate on your newly discovered weakness until you no longer feel the restriction on your breath or the tension in your body.

5) Craft a plan of action.

6) Commit to taking action on your plan.

Just a great plan of action!

I agree that this is a great plan. I just needed a clear plan of action. It's time to change
