Are you Passive or Active? A Self-Improvement Question

29. Dec 2007 07:12, shahjee

Every day I listen to the same comments; "They should improve this", "They must change that", "They have to do something about it", "It is unfair that…". Moans, sometimes fair complain, sometimes not.

Do you use to adopt a passive attitude with most of the matters related to your own life? Do you leave your self-improvement and personal growth on others hands?

You go to work on time. You do your tasks and you leave on time. - May be not because you are working overtime and don't getting payment for that. - You do not care about anything else. This is fair if you are only worried about your fortnight or monthly payment.

Have you asked yourself what could you do to improve your life?

You have the potential to make generate ideas that will help you to reduce cost, improve your productivity, improve your health, and improve the satisfaction of your customers or, simply, with a positive impact in any of the matters of your interest.

Among these, could be improving your level of co-operation and integration in your community to show your wishes of being a person respectful with your environment and supporting at local level.

But, my friend, to have the potential is not enough. You must take the reins of you self-improvement and personal growth.

What is amazing me is that you are constantly asking for feedback about your performance. How you did on your last date? How good are you at work? How good are you on bed? You know you are asking for this kind of things. So, what are you doing with so much information?

You are full of talents and should not be only a responsibility for your managers to help you to show them.

I will tell you something that could burst your mindset. Something you already have and possibly you are not able to use properly yet.

INFORMATION IS PASSIVE.

Doesn't matter if you have a lot or a few. Information does nothing by itself.

ACTION DOES.

Have you try to move a glass? You know how to do it.

Just try. If you are moving the glass you are not just trying. You are actually acting and moving the glass.

It is your responsibility to express your talent, not only to your personal benefit, but to get the World that we all desire.

I encourage you to express your talent. I am totally convinced that you will get a double benefit, self-improvement and positive contribution to achieve the better World we desire.

PS: I write this article firmly believing that "the Earth's Soul" come from the souls of whom, with their actions, made this World a reality.
