Philippians 3:13-15 in the Bible talks about improving our lives - 13 "My friends, I don’t feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead. 14 I run toward the goal, so that I can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize that God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done. 15 All of us who are mature should think in this same way. And if any of you think differently, God will make it clear to you."
How To Improve Yourself
1. Understand that self-improvement doesn't happen automatically. This truth may reveal why there is so much written and created to motivate us to improve.
2. Self-Improvements requires constant, systematic, and disciplined self-development.
3. Adopt a practice for self-improvement.
a. Find the same time, as little as five minutes each day, preferably in the same spot to do some thinking, praying and reading about self-improvement.
b. It takes 21 consecutive days of practicing a new habit to get it to become a part of your life. So, give your self-improvement project the necessary time to make it a deep part of your life.
c. Find a friend to improve with.
d. Never try to change anyone else. Working on yourself is more than enough. Besides, no one can change another person but themselves.
4. Since self-improvement is such a popular topic, find something new each day to read about the topic.
Blessings to you.
Rev. Bill McBride
