The Present, The Future and Your investment

I would like to share a saying by the father of nation

The future depends on what we do in the present.
Mahatma Gandhi.
That is a very powerful thought. How this can be harnessed toimprove upon ourselves.

It is quite easy not to work for our self improvement. You do not do any endeavour. Just acept the way you are and build an image about ourselves which varies according to our honesty and sincerity.

But improving ourselves requires courage and hardwork.

Courage because one has to recognize and accept his/her own weaknesses. That is not an easy job. And I say that from my own experience. Even if you recognize the area needing improvement it is not easy task to accept. Your ego always come in between and you end up saying, "Why should I? There are people who are as bad as me or worse and they are still happy and successful".

There were three possible answers that I developed to counter the questions of my ego in my way of self improvement.

First is that those people are living in different set of surrounding. They are in different milieu. The same set of rules does not apply to them. They come from different backgrounds. They do not have same expectations and needs of life as I have. If they appear successful they could have been more successful if they improved upon themselves.

Second was that I do not know whether they are happy. To appear happy is different. To be happy is another.

Third was that they might not be aware of the problems they possess. Afterall recognition is the first step.

Once you recognize your problem area it become imperative that we improve upon that by all possible means otherwise this keeps haunting us.

Earlier you realize this better it is.

Then the hard work starts.

The action requires two things. First is the knowledge of the solution and second the execution of the solution.

For example let us say that you are fat and consider yourself to be far more heavier than you should be. This is recognition of the problem.

The solution to the obesity s diet control and exercise to limit and burn the calories. This is knowledge of the solution.

Doing an exercise and continuing it is the execution of the solution.

This paradigm can be applied to any problem in any sphere of life.

Invest today in yourself so that you have a better tomorrow.
Good Luck.
