Often, we get to hear that this world is such a competitive place. What is basically misunderstood through this statement is that, people start to consider each other as their competitor. The fact to be known in real is every person has a competition with herself/himself. The goal is to be better than where he/she was yesterday. Self assessment and then self improvement is the key to be a better person.
SELF ASSESSMENT
Self assessment shall include assessing and analysing the behaviours, habits and patterns that are preventing you from becoming better.
Here are some :
- Fear of Failure (Not even trying anything)
- Procrastination (Delaying work till deadline)
- Negative Self-Talk (Constant self-criticism)
- Lack of Self-Discipline (e.g. lack of consistency)
- Comfort Zone Adherence (Sticking under old limits)
- Unwillingness to learn (closed mindset)
- Constant comparisons (feeling inadequate, ignoring unique strengths)
- Unhealthy Lifestyle Choices (Poor diet, lack of exercise, and inadequate sleep)
- Lack of Goal Setting
- Blaming Others (Not taking responsibility)
Recognizing these habits, behaviors, and patterns is crucial for self-improvement, as it opens the door to positive change and personal development.
