There are several self-improvement advice out there, but which of them are the most effective? Anyone likes a great technique to enhancing the self. The only thing that needs to be done is to find exactly where that source is.

A really good self-improvement advice is discipline! Discipline does not mean you lose freedom. One habit down means you get tenfold the benefit. It all depends on how much you are actually willing to let go of some things so you can gain something that would benefit your life more.

Initiate your self-improvement efforts by taking action! Each time you begin to slack off, breath deeply and prevent yourself from stressing on the fact that you are slacking off. Worrying won’t do anything and in fact can become a huge obstacle in reaching your goals.

What you want to do now is to take pleasure in what you do. Look back to those days when you were painting, something you’ve always loved doing, and ended up painting for hours and hours on end. There is always a way to encourage yourself. You can visualize what you’re going to get for your hard work, such as money, personal fulfillment, and a reward from yourself!

Another unique self-improvement advice is to visualize. This may sound so simple to do, but it is definitely effective. Visualization is the process of making a mental image with the goal of rebooting the mind. Visualization is based on the knowledge that the mind has a powerful effect on the body.

Visualizing can aid in making a reality what you want to do in your mind. The first thing you need to do is to relax completely by feeling every muscle become less rigid from top to bottom. The second thing you need to do is to pretending in your mind that you are walking from one room into another room, to symbolize the act of walking from your conscious state to your subconscious state. Then, picture the results you prefer to achieve. Finally, pretend in your mind that you have indeed achieved those results.

A comparable self-improvement advice is to attempt hypnosis. A counselor can aid you in doing this. During the usual mental state, a lot of people are incapable of admitting some flaws. When you subconsciously deal with what has to be worked on in life, you will have eliminated those persistent flaws you weren’t even conscious of previously.

Finally, try this very effective self-improvement advice: meditation. This is very much associated with the advice talked about earlier. You may want to get more out of life but what if there are so many things to think about that you can’t even take the first step? This is what meditation is for. It can relieve all the tension and therefore keep you on track when it comes to yourself and your personal goals in life.

To meditate, keep away from distraction and take long deep breaths while releasing all tense muscles. Mentally ask questions regarding who you really are. Ask yourself what you like to do, what made you proud of yourself, how content you really are in life and what is more important to you, and try to answer these questions everyday with actions.

Any self-improvement advice will only be effective if you are determined to change. You are your own boss when it comes to self-improvement. So be open to possibilities as much as possible!

Much has been written about leadership: rules, pointers, styles, and biographies of inspiring leaders throughout world history. But there are certain leadership ideas that we fail to recognize and realize in the course of reading books. Here is a short list of things you thought you knew about leadership.

1. Leaders come in different flavors: There are all different types of leaders and you will probably encounter more than one type in your lifetime.

Formal leaders are those we elect into positions or offices such as the senators, congressmen, and presidents of local clubs.

Informal leaders or those we look up to by virtue of their wisdom and experience such as in the case of the elders of a tribe, or our grandparents; or by virtue of their expertise and contribution on a given field such as Albert Einstein in the field of Theoretical Physics and Leonardo da Vinci in the field of the Arts. Both formal and informal leaders practice a combination of leadership styles.

- Lewin’s three basic leadership styles – authoritative, participative, and delegative

- Likert’s four leadership styles – exploitive authoritative, benevolent authoritative, consultative, and participative

- Goleman’s six emotional leadership styles – visionary, coaching, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting, and commanding.

2. Leadership is a process of becoming: Although certain people seem to be born with innate leadership qualities, without the right environment and exposure, they may fail to develop their full potential. Similar to learning how to ride a bicycle, you can also learn how to become a leader and hone your leadership abilities.

Knowledge on leadership theories and skills may be formally gained by enrolling in leadership seminars, workshops, and conferences. Daily interactions with people provide the opportunity to observe and practice leadership theories.

Together, formal and informal learning will help you gain leadership attitudes, gain leadership insights, and thus furthering the cycle of learning. You don’t become a leader in one day and just stop. Life-long learning is important in becoming a good leader, for each day brings new experiences that put your knowledge, skills, and attitude to the test.

3. Leadership starts with you: The best way to develop leadership qualities is to apply them in your own life. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “action speaks louder than words.”

Leaders are always in the limelight. Keep in mind that your credibility as a leader depends much on your actions: your interaction with your family, friends, and co-workers; your way of managing your personal and organizational responsibilities; and even the way you talk with the newspaper vendor across the street.

You can’t just “talk the talk,” you have to “walk the walk.” Repeated actions become habits. Habits in turn form a person’s character. Steven Covey’s book entitled 7 Habits of Highly Effective People provides good insights on how you can achieve personal leadership.

4. Leadership is shared: Leadership is not the sole responsibility of one person, but rather a shared responsibility among members of an emerging team. A leader belongs to a group. Each member has responsibilities to fulfill.

Formal leadership positions are merely added responsibilities aside from their responsibilities as members of the team. Effective leadership requires members to do their share of work. Starting as a mere group of individuals, members and leaders work towards the formation of an effective team.

In this light, social interaction plays a major role in leadership. To learn how to work together requires a great deal of trust amongst leaders and members of an emerging team. Trust is built upon actions and not merely on words. When mutual respect exists, trust is fostered and confidence is built.

5. Leadership styles depend on the situation: How come dictatorship works for Singapore but not in the United States of America? Aside from culture, beliefs, value system, and form of government, the current situation of a nation also affects the leadership styles used by its formal leaders.

There is no rule that only one style can be used. Most of the time, leaders employ a combination of leadership styles depending on the situation. In emergency situations such as periods of war and calamity, decision-making is a matter of life and death. Thus, a nation’s leader may not have the luxury of consulting with all departments to arrive at crucial decisions.

The case is of course different in times of peace and order. Different sectors and other branches of government can freely interact and participate in governance. Another case in point is in leading organizations. When the staffs are highly motivated and competent, a combination of high delegative and moderate participative styles of leadership is most appropriate. But if the staffs have low competence and low commitment, a combination of high coaching, high supporting, and high directing behavior from organizational leaders is required.

Now that you are aware of these things, keep in mind that there are always ideas that we think we already know. There are concepts we take for granted, but they are actually the most useful insights on leadership.

Understanding religion

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

We have seen that people of this world are belonging to one religion or the other and there could be very few people who do not belong to a religion. They enter into a religion when they are born because we take up the religion which is the religion of our parents or one of such parents. We are brought with those beliefs and hence these beliefs become part and parcel of our life. And we all know that very few of us change or convert to another religion. We have to live and continue in that religion and we die in that religion and ultimately our body is consigned to the end as per customs of that religion. and as per our beliefs we shall be getting Hell or Heaven as per our own deeds.

We have noted that all the religions are telling us the same principles and in spite of this fact, we could not unite in one religion. We have given names to religions and we are trying to establish that each religion is separate unit and does not match the other. We the people of this world are trying to establish that one religion is better than the other and that is the reason we had started converting people from one religion to the other only to increase the number and here we have a belief that who is converting more people to his religion is doing something in service of his own religion.

If we go deep, we shall find that all the religions on this earth are telling us the same principles and there is no difference. The names and way of living in each religion may be different and that might have been due to the reason that each religion had taken its birth at a different place and at a different time. But on the whole all are have the same beliefs.

The Hindus could be the oldest who had invented God and then they started giving powers to God and then they started praying before him. If we count and compare we shall find that God was established by Hindus, court of Dharam Raj was established by Hindus, Hindus are the first who invented institutions of Hell and Heaven, they had invented methods of devotion and worship, they started writing on the praise of God and they started the methods of prayers and worship. They are the first who started praying before God and then demanding blessing from God. The concept of charity also took its birth here in Hindustan.

And now these concepts which had been established by Hindus are available all over the world and all the people of the world are adding new concepts in their own religions only to show that they are different people and do not tally with the people of other religions and if we go deep, we shall find that there is a war going on in between the religions and if there is next world war, which has already taken its birth, shall not be between two countries, but it shall be between two religions and one religion shall try to finish the people of the other religion so that there could be peace in this world.

We shall have to accept that concepts of religions were good, but it is also on record that all the stages these people had been creating troubles for common people. Religions never allowed this man to live in peace. It is very strange that on one side we are admitting that all the religions are giving us the same guidelines, but on the other hand we all are fighting on the cause of religion and if we go deep in history, we shall find that at all the times all tyrannies had been committed in name of religion. People may be calling themselves brave, heroes of the like and on the other hand they may be counting their people as martyrs, all were not on the right path and all were based on religions. Religions never allowed one set of people to kill another set of people and if some people indulge in such killings, we should not count them as religious people and nor we should honour them as heroes because killing others is a grave sin and the man who is committing such sins shall be sent to Hell and no religion on earth shall save him from Hell. Therefore, the religions must tell their people that none should kill another though the cause may be sacred. We should honour the will of God who had sent each of us on this earth and Himself shall be calling us back and only then we should die. We are nobody to make short the period of our tenure which has been provided to us by God and if we do it we are committing crime, sin or the misconduct and we shall be punished.

If we want to be religious person, then we shall have to believe that God is one, we are His children, we all are members of one family, we are relatives of each other, we are to take care of others, we should not commit any crime, sin or misconduct against others around us, we should serve others, we should serve the child, the ill, the diseased person, the handicapped person, the old person and the man who is otherwise helpless. We should not discriminate on the basis of religions, castes, colour and creed, we should help women because they are the mothers of this mankind and we should give her a honourable place in the house. We should not indulge in scams, scandals, muddles, bribes, corruption, sale of jobs, sale of party tickets, taking in commissions and at all times we should see that we are taking our own share and we are not snatching away share of others. If we adopt these minimums only then we claim hat we are religious persons

The present look of persons is totally misleading. They are showing and presenting themselves as religious persons, though in their heart of heart they are not religious person. All who are trying to make other to understand the religious concepts, themselves are on the wrong path. they are collecting money from others and are living on those charity when they could have adopted some profession, trade, calling and employment for themselves. Preaching religion could be an additional way, but we should not earn our living from these discourses. The people who are living on charity cannot be near to God nor they shall be able to bring us near to God. They are below normal people and therefore, such people should not given respect and honour in society.

We should become a normal person who is earning his own living, earning for the administration of his family, is looking after his children, giving them proper education, is giving to his children proper training and proper adjustment in life, who is believing that God is present everywhere and is having an eye on us, we shall be punished if we are doing something wrong and we shall be awarded if we are doing something right, we should not snatch away share of others, we should not give in charity, but if need be we should help the needy and we should try to teach him how to catch a fish instead of begging a fish from others. We must try be faithful, sincere, honest towards others and we should avoid drinking, taking drugs, eating opium and we must earn through honest means. These are some minimums on the basis of which we can call ourselves as religious person. So from today, we shall try to adopt the right course in in life and people may consider us religious persons or they may not take us as religious person.

Self Improvement:When your looking to improve yourself in the best possible way ever.

You ever have to deal with something or someone that would force you to improve yourself? Well, it is so real because in life, things happen for a reason. You just have to find out what that reason is and sometimes we’re forced to deal with certain obstacles in life that would force us to self improve ourselves. Most people have low self-esteem to a point where they want to kill themselves or just plain let themselves go altogether without a care in the world whatsoever. I once had a friend who told me that she was sad all the time and Wanted to kill herself. I felt very sad for her and kindly told her that everything was going to be just fine. She didn’t quite understand when I told her this and I kindly told her that the point that I’m getting to is that in life, you’ll have to face certain obstacles some good and some bad. But when the road gets rocky and you feel beaten down and you feel like the world is coming to an end. You’ll need to look over that particular obstacle and still go on because life goes on and you sure can’t turn back time, but what you can do is change any situation around for the better, and self improve yourself.

Ways to self-improve yourself:

-Read spirituality books such as: Self Improvement

-Exercise your body, mind, and soul

-Find a hobby

-Eat right and get enough rest

-Build up self-esteem

-If you’re not happy with the way you look, you should get a make-over

-Do things to keep you occupied

-Weigh out the positive and the negatives

(meaning the pros and the cons)

-Look beyond the past and focus on the future:

-Surround yourself with positive people that can lift your spirits and rid yourself from all the negative energy that’s keeping you from moving on and living your life.

And last but not least:

-Always believe in god because prayer works.

Know this:

Time can’t ever be replaced, but you can replace things that will help you self-improve your life.

In order to self-improve yourself, you should have faith in your life into bettering yourself. When you self-improve you are actually overcoming things that happened in your lifetime that really beat you down in the worst way, and caused you to bounce back and help you get yourself together. This is usually called self-recovery!

One can’t remain sane unless he/she has positive friends to lift your spirits and make you feel good about yourself. But most importantly, you should believe in yourself and build up self-esteem.

Remember: If you don’t think highly of yourself, then nobody else will. Never worry about anyone but yourself except family and close friends.

Because in life, when we fall down we must pick ourselves back up.

VIP:

Self Improvement can come a long way especially if you’re willing to improve yourself in the best possible way ever.

ex: education and employment

-You can always self-improve when it comes to education because remember some education is better than none because a lot of doors can open for you allowing you to go far and definitely with employment because some money is better than no money and you can get a lot of things done with cash in your pocket. you can never be too happy if you’re broke all the time.

You ever see a woman who has a lot of confidence in herself and all she does is walk around with her head up high and smiling? Well, you might be wondering why she is so happy? Well, most likely, this particular person probably had a rough life or had to face obstacles that she was forced to deal with which led her in the right path to self improvement.

Remember: what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger

Self improvement: Can one really self-improve for themselves or for others!

Religions do not unite the people

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

It must be accepted that religions could not unite the people of the world. It must be accepted that this world has been divided on the basis of religions and on the administrative side this world is divided on the basis of countries. All these divisions had been wasting the time of the people and it must be on record that most of the wars and conflicts had been there because of establishment of different religions and because of establishment of different countries. Had there been one world and had there been one religion or no religion at all the people of this world could have avoided all these wars and all these conflicts and more time and energy could have been utilized for the welfare of this man and there were chances that more inventions and discoveries could have been made by this man. And had we traveled on the right direction for these centuries, this world would become Heaven we could have seen God with naked eyes.

It must be accepted that all religions had been taking birth at different places and that had been the reason names of religions are different. We do not know much about the basic principles which were laid down at the first instance, but if today, we study the religious scriptures, we come to the conclusion that all the religions tell us the same things and there is no difference in principles of the religions. But the religions have divided the people and now we can recognize a person standing before us and we can tell to which religion this man belongs and what are his thoughts about us. We have different places of worship, different books, different thoughts, different haircut, different languages, different clothes and different way of saluting each other. And at the same time we are divided and we feel that the people in other religions are not taking any interest in our welfare. This is the tragedy with this man and now a stage has come where this man is not in a position to shed off all the religions and establish a common religion. There had been some works toward this direction, but none of the efforts could establish one religion.

The man is still going on and they are establishing different sub religions and they are successful. The people who have adopted this way to earn money, they are successful because it is very easy to collect people in these units and then snatch away money from them. People who have entered this profession are successful and have become known people and at the same time, they have collected huge amounts of money and are enjoying life like rich people and like powerful people.

At present the position is more dangerous because most of the major religions have established themselves and they are at war with each other simply because they are different. All the religions have started establishing themselves and they are constructing big buildings and are collecting all mythology around their religions. They have appointed scholars to dig out mythology and history concerning their religion and they are in competition with each other. People in one religion are telling us that they are the first in finding out real God and they are also saying that they are more powerful only because they belong to that particular religion and others are weak because they belong to another weak and false religion. People are trying to establish that people in their religion are the right persons and people in other religions are false, wrong and unreligious people.

So if the present trends go on, there are chances this world shall be divided into Muslims, Christians and Hindus and there are chances the next division of this world would be based on these three religions and there are chances that all the countries shall be merged religions-wise and there shall be three groups, three countries in the world and there are chances that there should be an upheaval as had happened when Hindustan was divided in 1947 into India and Pakistan in which 8,00,000 people had been killed and atleast 11,00,00,000 had been uprooted and migrated to unknown places. The wise people of the world should sit together and they should try to establish one religion which should be common to all and the present division on the basis of religions should go. Otherwise this world created by God shall turn Hell and we all shall suffer in it.
