Are you happy with the current version of you?
You shouldn't be!
The best lifelong goal that anyone can have is to improve themselves continually every day.
Why? Because it is a goal that never ends. It lasts till your dying day and it means no regrets as you have put your all into every day.
Live is short, so we need to live it to the best of our abilities and we can make our abilities better every day.
The earlier in your life you realize this the better, don't settle for a mediocre existence where you are swept along with the waves of society. Stand up and get what you want.
It also never too late to realize this either.
Just think what you want it to say on your tombstone.
Stop, take stock and think about who you are and where you want to go and do something every day to get there. It doesn't have to be massive steps either, just baby steps, but just doing something will build up and make you feel invincible and want to do more.
I wish I took stock earlier, but I have mentally wiped out the last ten years of my life (except my beautiful children of course). My lesson from that is to take people as they are. They won't change unless they want to.
But anyway, Steemit is a life changer for many and there are many Discord groups full of different communities.
A particular favorite Discord Group of mine is the Politically Incorrect Steemians who's first rule has just be changed to:
"RULE #1 - IMPROVE YOURSELF DAILY OR FUCK OFF"
It might sound harsh, but it is a great motivator and there is an amazing bunch of ambitious and motivated people in there, led by
the super determined .
The group is about 10 days old, but it is really active and hugely supportive and definitely not as offensive (much) as it might sound at first.
has been making sure that I post every day, something I have not always been so consistent with, but for the most part, I have been successful. He will call me out in my comments, as I have given my word that I will do this every day.
I have spent most of my life surrounded by mess and chaos, so Philip has given me baby steps each day to clear my space, so my mind becomes less of a mess and my goals are clearer to achieve (and nothing has worked so well in the little progress I have made).
So this is what I've done so far...
Day 1: Cleared my desktop (it was full of icons, now down to 12)
Day 2: Follow only the Steemians that you like to read the stuff from
Day 3: Leave the discord channels that you are not active in
Day 4: Clean bedroom (it has not been as tidy as it is now for the 2 and a half years I have lived in the place). Feels more peaceful already.
Day 5: Clean kitchen (today's task). I'm halfway through it (my 6-year-old has just had the most ear-piercing hour long screaming tantrum over something so little, but I will still get it finished). Had just a few dishes to do...
(There is even more there than it looks too)
Small changes that will make a big difference.
Are you ready for a daily improvement challenge?
