Becoming a better me!

Most of the books that I have read these last few years have been on self development. You know, the ones that teach you how to be the best self you can be. Some of them have been great and others have been okay.

All have taught me something... Most of them have taught me to take one day at a time and be better than you where the day before. Some have taught me to set goals and work towards those goals in small chunk so that I don’t get overwhelmed and feel burned out.

My main problem is that even after reading all about this and diving in really deep into learning these. Two things happened.

1. I didn’t put into practice a lot of what I learned

2. I also forgot a lot of what I learned

This can be a challenge for someone that doesn’t read a lot or take very good notes. It become a challenge because we have to re-read the books or go off of not so great notes. We make the same bad habits as we did before. We feel like we aren’t improving fast enough or at all.

As I write this, I remember what has worked for me, I take long notes. Then I take the long notes and pull out the most important information. That is the information that I make my goals around. I make tiny goals around the important information and take it one day at a time.

Soon I realize I have implemented the good habits that work and dropped the ones that will not work for me at this time. I always have my notes to refer to. You never know when a new goal, old idea, or habit will begin to work in your life.


Try them out. Keep what works and drop what does not. Always remember to be better than you where the day before. It's not about competing with someone else. It's about competing to be the best self you can be. Day to day.


Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to talking go you. I will see you later this week.
