How To Improve The Quality of Your Life

Have you ever asked the following question?

What makes some people’s lives different from others?

Why is it that some people are more fulfilled and successful than others and achieve great things in life, even though they perhaps started out life with nothing and had setbacks that deemed them to failure? These people appear to have been gifted with great ‘emotional muscle’ that kept their spirit alive to succeed. A ‘self belief’, that determined for them that they would succeed against all odds.

And yet there are others who have been given everything in life rarely achieve personal fulfilment or success because life is too easy and they cannot be bothered to make changes in their behaviour patterns to motivate and challenge them to achieve more of who they are, regardless of their material success.

The great achievers in life have learned that success can only be measured by our fulfilment in life, from our work, our relationships. Meaning that unless we enjoy what we do and continue daily to work on improving ourselves as individuals and our relationships with others, life can become meaningless and boring and quickly leads to stagnation and hence stress.

If you find yourself at a crossroads in your life, then you need to be asking yourself the following question. ‘Who am I? Answer this question honestly, as this is going to determine where you are, how far you have come in life and even where you now want to go.

Once you have answered that question then you need to ask yourself three further questions, which will gauge if you are really living your life with joy and excitement or whether you are just existing from day to day with little hope that things can get better for you.

• Do I live my life fully
• Do I love enough
• Am I significant

Do I live my life fully ?

This can be measured by the amount of consistency you live with. Consistency can be good it’s about loyalty, trust and reliability which are all good character traits, but in order to achieve much more from your life you need to develop yourself beyond this level of thinking and set challenges for further personal growth and accomplishment. Don’t measure yourself by the hopes and dreams of your parents, your teacher but by your own dreams and aspirations. Learn to take risks, step outside of your comfort zone and experience more of life.

Do I love enough?

Do I constantly work on my relationships with others, do I give enough attention and appreciation to those that matter in my life. Ask yourself am I open with my feelings and emotions and could I give out more of myself to others. Love is what makes the world go round.

Am I significant – do I matter?

Do you live a good life?
Am I living my purpose?
Do I make a difference to everyone around me and to the world? Am I contributing my skills, talents and kindness out to other?
If you do not feel you are significant and have much to offer then Self Awareness is the key to understanding yourself better, your life path and the challenges on offer.

Mr Tony Robbins, personal development guru from the USA talks about CANE as the key to self awareness and developing yourself fully, to achieve greater personal happiness in all areas of your life. He uses this CANE concept in mastering his life and goals.

CANE

Constant and never ending improvement
This concept when practised daily will eventually improve the quality of your life. If you are constantly focusing on improving all aspects of your life, your work, your relationships and goals, then you are taking control of your personal power and emotions to drive your life in the direction you wish it to go. Commit yourself right now to take action to build momentum and self mastery.

Remember It’s not what happens in your life, it’s what you do with what happens is the key to success and achievement.
