The Self-Improvement Disease

6 replies
There is no such thing as "self improvement".

The fallacy of self-improvement comes from the fact that you must first believe there is something outside that needs to be improved upon.

When people believe they are flawed, the tendency is to start searching, searching, and searching some more to find a solution, an answer...

Looking for meaning, solutions, and happiness "out there".

Here's the point, nothing outside can solve your problems.

If this were true, if there was a magical outside "fix" to life- there'd be no sad, high-strung, depressed people in the world.

There would be no depressed and unhappy rich folks...check out the tabloids!


Great news is that you already have the resources inside to be happy, wealthy, and successful.

This idea is so foreign to many (and to conventional knowledge) that most people would have trouble believing it!

It can be a "hard pill to swallow"...especially when you feel in lack, lonely, depressed, or frustrated. When you can't pay your bills, hate your job, and things aren't going right.

But, this breakthrough can happen instantly.

All you need is a shift. This will enable you to get CLEAR on what you want, be inspired to take MASSIVE action, and things will start to move into place effortlessly.

When your life changes overnight, it's not because you "improved" yourself, it's because you had an internal shift.

This internal shift can also be called "alignment". When you are in alignment with what you want, you will always manifest it.

And manifesting is not a magical voo-doo power from la la land...its the ability to "align" your conscious desires with the power of your unconscious mind...and thus create what you want faster than "improving" yourself from a point of limitation.

    Very, very well said. Self improvement doesn't need to be imposed upon one's self. It must be natural and sincere. We are the ones who can identify our own flaws and we are also the ones responsible for correcting it.

    I get what your saying about "nothing outside can solve your problems" and "everything you need is already inside you" but I don't agree with you discouraging people who are "seeking" or "searching, searching, searching" for help "out there".

    See, most people don't know or understand how to unlock their true inner subconscious power. They know something is wrong, but they need guidance on how they can fix it themselves. They need assistance to bring this "shift" into reality. They need help, FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE (such as a guru or mentor), to actually realize this alignment. Very few humans are born with the natural ability to manifest intentions on their own. They must learn to develop this skill. They do this by searching, searching and searching until they find someone who can help them.

    But a good post none-the-less! I like your motivation and passion for the subject!

    I like the term "Personal Development" which (I think) was coined by Jim Rohn.

    There's always something you can improve. : )
