Break Away From The Cycle of Disappointment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nEveryone wants to better themselves and succeed in life, but knowing where and how to start on your journey towards self-realization can feel overwhelming. Life isn\u2019t just blindly following some pre-determined path into a fate we have no control over, but instead forging a path of our own making for ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s an incredibly effective concept we can bring into our lives to achieve our true potential, and that is by striving for a small win, every day. The foundation of this concept is the science of continuous improvement, through which we can learn to flourish and become the most authentic and fulfilled versions of ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no doubt that everyone has experienced this scenario at some point in our lives; we\u2019re suddenly inspired by some unexpected event or revelation to completely change our circumstances, but in a matter of weeks, or perhaps even days, the burning flame of determination and enthusiasm flickers and splutters to a disappointing end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a while, we resume our usual routines, until the second wave of inspiration comes and goes, and then the third, the fourth, and so on. It becomes a fruitless endeavor, and as the months and years drag by, we\u2019ve barely introduced any meaningful change into our lives. It can be demotivating and frustrating, but it is essential that we understand that the problem is not that we can<\/em>\u2019t<\/em> do it; it\u2019s that we\u2019re not going about it in the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSet Simple and Daily Goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAttempting any radical and drastic transformation will ultimately end in failure. Personal development is a universally desired and coveted dream, and yet it seems impossible to attain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worthwhile progress can only be made once we learn how to disembark from this emotional roller-coaster, once you begin with feelings of optimism and hope, but by the end, you\u2019re left with nothing but the bitter taste of disappointment and pessimism on your tongue \u2013 only for the ride to begin all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s for this reason that the rule of working towards a small goal or achievement every day is a powerful and illuminating guiding light, which promises salvation to those who have become lost in the tumultuous and bewildering ocean of personal development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason why our previous efforts fail is that we try to change too much too quickly, and once the enormity of what we have assigned ourselves dawns upon us, we quickly become discouraged and disheartened. Adopting a method of continuous improvement is a surprisingly simple solution to this long-standing and frustrating dilemma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Realise That You Can Achieve Anything<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBenjamin Franklin once said, \u201clittle strokes fell great oaks\u201d. Rather than attempting to transform your life all at once, you should instead introduce small and gentle changes every day that will gradually result in the realization of your dreams and aspirations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the beginning, one small win may not seem like much, and there\u2019s every chance that achieving the initial wins won\u2019t necessarily make much of an apparent difference at first. However, the effect of these changes will start to accumulate over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most empowering things you will ever learn about yourself is that you already have everything you need within you to transform your life, it\u2019s just having the wisdom to access and apply your raw potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s one of those little-known secrets that no one talks about – with sacrifice and perseverance you can achieve absolutely anything. By making deliberate and decisive choices, you can achieve free agency and complete control over your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transform Your Life Step By Step<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nChange is never easy, and to be wary of, or exhausted by, the thought of change is an intrinsic and completely expected response. It is for this reason that mastering the art of continuous improvement, and working towards a small victory every day, mitigates the challenges associated with trying to do too much at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something that was once a singular and intimidating ravine separating you from your dreams becomes a series of stepping-stones you can take one at a time to reach the other side. Moving an entire mountain at once is impossible, but it is<\/em> possible to carry each stone that mountain is made from, one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOver time, the influence of this continuous improvement will become increasingly powerful. Each stepping stone you land on and mountain rock you move is a victory and a reason for celebration in its own right. With this positive reinforcement, you will be encouraged to keep going, and as the momentum begins to build, you\u2019ll realize you can take increasingly bigger actions; ones that would have intimidated you in the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
