“What Really Makes You Tick?” 10 questions you should ask to yourself: a preparation to self-improvement

Be all you can be, but it’s not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course it’s hard to think of anything else when where are real issues to be discussed.

Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.

So we’re all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn’t even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks… or can they?

1. What do I really want?
The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.

Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.

2. Should I really change?
Today’s generation has taken another level of redefining ’self’, or at least that’s what the kids are saying. Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?

If history has taught us one thing, it’s the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn’t appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to really dance than break their bones in break-dancing.

3. What’s the bright side in all of this?
With so much is happening around us there seem to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it’s a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round!

4. Am I comfortable with what I’m doing?
There’s always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn’t take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we’ll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.

5. Have I done enough for myself?
Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you’ll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.

6. Am I happy at where I am today?
It’s an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life!

7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
So maybe I don’t have an answer to that, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try it, though. Whether you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be for your own benefit.

8. How much could I have?
I suppose in this case there is no such things on having things too much or too little, but it’s more on how badly you really need it. I’d like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it?

9. What motivates me?
What motivates you? It’s an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of the may be the hardest part. It’s not like you can’t have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that’s it. Just try it piece by piece.

10. What Really Makes You Tick?
So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it’s something that you really want.

Half Way; There is Light at the End of the Tunnel

So, we are a little over half way now in our challenge to be millionaires in a year. How are we going?

If I had to sum it up in one word it would be 'forward' that's how we are going.
Despite what is happening on our journey and despite what ill informed no bodies (not content with their own lives so they feel the need to belittle others) continue to say we are learning a great many things, about ourselves and about people in general.

You see there are people in this world that would have you believe that certain people are bad, and I guess you can find evidence of this in psychopaths and psychotics.
However I am of the opinion, and it is just that, my opinion that people are generally good.
No one goes into business to try and wrong someone. To deliberately try and rip someone off.
There may be some that will argue that point, and to them I would say read my post Lean January to see what sort of person you are, if you truly believe that people you are going into business with are going to rip you off, then perhaps you need to take a look at yourself as to why this might occur. Could it perhaps be that you would have no trouble in doing so yourself to someone? Food for thought.
That includes the people that continually try and drag people down. The people that make assumptions based on their own best thinking. The reason I say that is this;
These people feel, for some reason, that they are the victim, they have been brought up to try and find an answer outside of themselves to the problems they have in their lives.
So it's not that these people are bad or other wise, it is more the fact that they have brought into the lies that have been sold to them, by their parents, by society, by the media, you fill in the blanks.

Can they change the way they look at things? Absolutely, will they? Probably not, they would rather hold on to their way of thinking because they're right than entertain the fact that there could be more to something than what is on the surface. This is a good reason why that only 3% of the world population is truly wealthy, their mind is open to the fact that perhaps they don't know everything. They are willing to entertain a thought that might be foreign to them at first.
This is one of the very things that does, in fact, separate the haves from the have nots. That simple notion that perhaps they do not know everything.

Delving a little deeper into that, the haves in this world understand that it is the area that we don't know that we don't know that our true success is located.

Read that last sentence again to let it sink in.

So what does it all mean? Simple, we all have choices in life. Anyone can have success, it is a choice. We must be willing to look into where we don't know that we don't know.
So if success is as easy and simple as looking in that place and making a decision why aren't more people doing it?
Fear! False Evidence Appearing Real which of course I have spoken of before.

Let me sum up with this, you are not going to be able to please all people all of the time, and you know what, who cares, stay true to yourself, stay focused on your outcome and keep striving until you get it.
Will it happen in a day? Will it happen in a year? Who knows, more to the point WHO CARES!
Just know that the only way you are going to fail in achieving your goals and ultimately having anything you truly desire, is to QUIT.
The only one who can determine that is YOU

Until next time!
