In this article I want to introduce you to the basics of my concept personality self-improvement. In this blog, I try to do purely practical materials. Without going deep into the wilds of abstract reasoning and abstract ideas, I want to tell you about how to become happier, free and harmoniously developed people.
But now it is time to philosophize a little bit.
I would like to talk about those beliefs that formed the basis of my concept of self-development. These thoughts will concern people, their strength and their weaknesses, their capabilities and limitations. Of course, like all philosophizing, everything that will be described later may be arbitrary and controversial in some points. Therefore, I am always open to your comments and always ready to discuss and revise these ideas.
Why my principles of self-development can not only help me
I am well aware of the main weak point of any attempt to philosophize on the subject of universal categories. This Achilles' heel, which makes many speculations about the human person shaky and vulnerable to criticism, is the identity of the subject and object of knowledge in the matter of understanding people. Those conclusions that I made and the rules that I derived helped me a lot in my life. They work great for me. But I do not claim complete versatility. I admit the possibility that someone may develop according to other laws, and in general all people are arranged differently, and my advice may not be suitable for someone, and the general train of thought may not be shown to be entirely correct.
But, first, I, as a product of my time and my culture, can assume the existence of a community in the sphere of concepts, ideas, laws of thinking with other people. All of us are products of one society that educates us, with which we interact and, accordingly, have similar problems, desires and expectations.
Secondly, I actively communicate with people and constantly notice that they are held captive by the same prejudices, myths and misconceptions about themselves and their capabilities. I myself was subject to these myths, so I understand well the adverse effects these prejudices can have on the development of individuality. Since childhood many have confessed the same erroneous ideas about a person, then I will tell you what ideas they are.
I see how many intelligent and capable people are constrained by irrational fears, inexplicable and groundless uncertainty in themselves and in their abilities, remain in the confusion about where they need to go in general and what they need for happiness ?. I managed to understand the causes of these very fears and cope with them. And I'm still struggling with this. And if you yourself get rid of such prejudices, then this will greatly bring you closer to realizing your own goals and managing your life. And no matter how different we are with you. Weaknesses and weaknesses are common.
Third, the actions that resulted from the implementation of my self-improvement system led me closer to harmony and a true understanding of my goals. So this practical result, which I can always contemplate, gives me confidence in the correctness of what I am going to tell right now.
My system that describes personal self-perfection, relies on the two forces of will and mind.
The purpose of my blog is to develop the will and mind.
The goal of this site is to form a rational understanding of your desires in you and realize the goals that meet your desires. Your mind is responsible for this. Then, when this understanding came, you will need (how to develop willpower?) To realize the life project that is closest to you. Create for yourself a life in which you can achieve the greatest happiness and realize your full potential.
Sounds easy, right? Moreover, as part of my self-development program, many answers to your questions about self-improvement will be extremely simple and even banal at times. There will be no need to go through some kind of ornate path, to comprehend the Great Secret of Being. Those goals that I outline will be extremely concise and unpretentious in their formulations. Agree, it’s easy to say “get a hold of yourself, pull yourself together, don’t panic and start implementing the life project that will make you happy and free.”
It is easy to say, but difficult to do ... I do not call for the cognition of the mystery of space, the Highest Virtue, to achieve Nirvana ... This site offers a different goal, more "modest", so to speak, simple and understandable - to become happy, free (from fears , from momentary desires, from envy, malice) and harmonious!
What we do not have enough for happiness?
But, meanwhile, few people are able to realize such a simple goal: after all, it is not obligatory to go with the flow of fate and be content with what it offers you, it is not always necessary to do what society expects from you or what status dictates. Even if a life goal was formed in front of someone, this someone often lacks the will and character to carry out their wildest projects. Fear and laziness will raise inaction and passivity to the rank of necessity and slip into the mind thousands of pretexts, just to do nothing and continue to go with the flow.
Remember how often you dreamed about something better? But they were always afraid of the difficulties that extend in the way of achieving their dreams. Maybe dreamed of a better job? Or did you even want to leave the hired position and be your own boss? Open your own business? But they always found reasons not to do this: then it seems to you that you cannot, because you do not have any qualities or necessary knowledge; then you simply feel the fear of the unknown and panic before the prospect of changing the current state of affairs; then you have the wrong mindset and character.
All these excuses and excuses - imaginary reasons that creates fear, making them compelling and weighty for you. This creates significant obstacles in the way of self-development and kills potential in the bud. In general, it is not so easy to formulate how to overcome these obstacles. And before you do this, they need to be aware of. Fear and insecurity are one of the main reasons why happiness seems unattainable to many. And how to deal with these vices will be devoted a lot of material on this site, which I will publish. I promise to reveal in more detail all these provisions and provide practical recommendations necessary for your improvement.
In the next part, I am going to talk about mind and awareness, about their role and purpose in individual self-development.
