Positive Self
Improvement
The Key to Changing your Life

What is Positive Self
Improvement?
 Positive Self Improvement is striving for a Better Life
based on what is most important to you.
 Positive Self Improvement is personal, this means
working towards a positive goal that would give you
and you alone personal satisfaction and make your
life a triumph.

Why Should you be Positive?
 The physical world as we know it is always changing.
You are either moving towards a goal or if you don’t
have any goals you are not.
 If you don’t have any goals, life around you is
changing but you are not. Without goals you are
probably stagnant and living a mediocre life.
 Having Positive Goals creates a positive, productive
life. It gives you a sense of purpose.

Maintaining a Positive Attitude.
 It’s depressing, but the world around us is negative.
We are bombarded by negativity and we are most
certainly influenced by others.
 The individual who can recognize that people around
them are negative has a major advantage.
 This individual if he can take hold of his own mind
and maintain a positive attitude can achieve whatever
he wants in life.

Law of Attraction
 Science now confirms that the Law of Attraction is
probably real. It is in the simple belief that “like
attracts like”.
 If you believe positive thoughts, you will get positive
results. If you believe negative results you will get
negative results. There is tremendous power in what
you believe.

You Become What You Think
About.
 What you think about continuously effects your
reality. This is your belief system that you have
about yourself.
 You will make choices in life based upon what you
think or how you feel about yourself. If you think
you can do something or if you can’t do something
you are right.
 This is your truth about yourself.

Why You are Where You are
Today?
 We’ve been programmed to be like our parents, relatives and
teachers. Who were taught to be like their parents, relatives,
and teachers. We learned from them how to be, act and think.
We conformed to be accepted and loved.
 Where you are today is probably not your fault.
 We were never taught about the Law of Attraction and why
you should strive for positive self improvement.

Love and Fear
 There are basically two emotions that rule the
universe, Love and fear. You are always acting on
either one. Obviously Love is positive and fear is
negative.
 Whether you know it or not, given any circumstance
in life, you will either react out of love or fear based
on what you believe about yourself or the
circumstance.

Responsibility
 People can only teach you what they are. Based on
this knowledge you cannot blame your parents,
relatives or teachers for the negativity they have
taught you. Realize these truths. Forgive them; they
only know what they know.
 Take responsibility for your life! You are here now!
The past is dead! Give yourself all the credit you
deserve. True power is in the knowing that you can
change.

You are the Most Important
Person
You live with yourself everyday from birth to death.
You carry yourself everywhere you go. Yes, you can
love others, but the reality is there is no one else more
important in your life.
 Your Experience of your World is yours and yours
alone. No one can think as you do, or feel as you do.
 Ultimately, wherever you go you are always there
with yourself. This means to you, you are the most
important person.

Making a Shift for a Better Life
 Making a shift for a better life might not be easy to do
based on your previous learning and the influence of
people in your life. At the same time, you have taught
others how you want them to treat you.
 Once you realize the truth that you can control the
circumstances in your life. Changing your attitude
and living with responsibility on a daily basis makes
a shift for a better life easy

Developing a Purpose for your
Life.
 Having a purpose gives life meaning. It fuels your
desires and gives you enthusiasm for living. You
look forward for your start to the day. This is
personal and defined according to what is important
to you and you alone.
 Once your life purpose is defined, opportunities open
up. Life becomes more and more filled with
possibilities.

Goals
 The problem with most people is that we’ve never
taken the time to set goals. We are not taught the
importance of setting goals. Parents, teachers and
relatives are not taught to set goals. They can only
teach us what they know.
 It’s a proven fact, people that set goals usually
achieve them. They give you a direction, a course of
action. Study after study, have proven that the
human mind strives for a goal once it is thought of
continuously.

Why it is Important to have
Goals
 Wandering around without direction leads to
depression. Living a Life without goals gives you a
sense of a meaningless life. It’s not important what
others think of you. It’s most important what you
think about yourself.
 Everything, in your life is about how you feel about
yourself and your life. If you have a purpose and set
goals to achieve that purpose, you lead a meaningful
life. You feel happy and fulfilled.

Writing it Down, the Details.
 Setting goals, takes time and effort. You have to put
some thought into setting goals. We take the time to
plan vacations, parties, and other important events in
our lives. But never feel it is important to think about
our goals for life.
 Writing down your goals is the first step to their
achievement. Adding details creates a sense of
possibilities. Your vision becomes clearer and clearer
when you add the details. It is no longer a wish or a
distant dream.

The Importance of Defining your
Goals.
 Thoughts are fleeting, writing down your goals
creates a foundation to build upon. Details about
your goals, gives your foundation strength. If you
can see the details of your goal it becomes attainable.
 Defining your goals gives you a sense of possibility.
The more detail you add will create more enthusiasm.
 This will motivate you to take action for their

Reflect of your Goals Everyday.
 Once you set your goals they must be nurtured. Like
seeds that you plant, they need monitoring and
watering. If you can think about your goals in the
morning when you wake, you start the day with
enthusiasm.
 Goals need to be thought about and reflected upon
everyday. The more focus and attention you put on
your goals will bring them closer to there attainment.

Taking Action Steps Towards
your Goals
 You will have to do some work to obtain your goals
in life. Sitting around thinking about your goals is
not enough.
 We live in a physical world. To see tangible results
you must do something to move you to your goals.
Action steps produce results, either positive or
negative.
 Ultimately, taking action will get you the results you
want. Even hard work becomes enjoyable.

Belief and Faith
 Faith is defined as a belief in something that you can
not see, something intangible.
 You have to have faith that you will eventually
achieve your goals. Giving up on your dreams and
goals is the only way to fail at achieving them.
 Many have given up right before they would have
become successful.

Habits
 We are all creatures of habit. We all have our
comfort zones, daily habits that have become routine.
We do these without much thought. We do these on
auto-pilot.
 These habits can either be good habits, or bad habits.
Obviously, good habits will produce good results and
bad habits will lead to bad results.
 We all have bad habits that we would like to get rid
of.

Habits – Creating Good Habits
 Recognize the bad habit and its benefit to you. There
is a reason you do this. For example, some bad habits
such as overeating, drinking, and smoking are all
done because of some other underlying problem.
 Take responsibility and address the problem and it’s
affect on you. Owning the problem is true maturity.
Take steps towards becoming the person you want to
be, by replacing the bad habit with a good habit.
 The only way to get rid of bad habits is to replace
them with good habits.

Taking Small Steps towards
Success
 Making a commitment and an all out effort to change can be
good. But in reality making small changes over time will
bring long term success.
 For example, most diet plans do not work because they are
short term quick fixes. Cold turkey stop smoking does not
work because these types of actions do not address most
people’s problems.
 Small daily actions towards a specific goal if done consistently
will produce greater results. Creating good habits, will
produce long term lifestyle changes.

Patience
 We’ll all heard the saying “Patience is a virtue”. You
must be patient to achieve your personal goals . It
took you a lifetime to be where you are today.
 We live in a world of immediate gratification. True
overnight success is very rare. Most successes take
years to accomplish with a lot of hard work.
 Don’t be so hard on yourself. Make small permanent
changes, It will take some time to achieve what you
want, but know if you stay on course you will
accomplish what you want for yourself.

Roadblocks Along the Way.
 Recognize that you will face adversity along the way
to accomplishing your goals. Some roadblocks are
necessary for your own learning. Some are there to
place you on the correct course.
 We all know Thomas Edison had 10,000 failures
before he created the light bulb. He said he knew
10,000 ways how not to create a light bulb.
 Take these failures in stride. Never Quit! The key is
to keep striving and keep taking the steps towards
your goal.

Letting the Universe Work for
You.
 One of the keys is not to get in your own way and let
the forces of the universe work in your favor.
Demonstrating a burning desire and having faith in
your goals opens doors and creates opportunities not
available previously.
 Be grateful for what you have now and also for the
attainment of your goals. This is a state of being
which brings you more of what you are. What you
are is what you will have. Let the universe work it’s
magic on you. Allow yourself to be its beneficiary.

Enjoying the Journey
 Life is a journey of discovery and pleasure. The
hardships along the way are necessary for our
learning and growing. They mold us into the persons
we need to become in order for us to have what we
want. Enjoy the process of becoming that person. It
will strengthen you.
 Knowing that your personal success is achievable and
will be accomplished should make everyday a joy.
The journey there is as important as the achievement
of any goal.

Living in the Present
 Most of us keep replaying our past. These thoughts keep us in
the past. Thinking about what may or may not happen in the
future is worry.
 Being aware of our thoughts, living in the present helps us to
change. If we can become aware of our negative thoughts, we
can replace them with positive thoughts. which will create our
positive feelings and good habits
 Being in the present is the only life you have and where life is
created. The only thing that really matters is what you are
doing and thinking at this moment.

Living your Truth. No Regrets
 Early on in life we are taught to be dependent. Many
people even into adulthood live by other people rules
and direction. They have never made the decision to
live there own truth, there own lives.
 It takes courage to chart your own course. Living
your truth means being honest with yourself and
taking responsibility for your own life. There are no
regrets later on in life when you can honestly say you
lived your life the way you wanted.

Sharing and Serving Others
 Being genuine, helping and sharing with others
empowers us as human beings. The only way to
reach this level is to truly have the other person’s best
interests at heart.
 The person who focuses entirely on other persons
needs, will always have his own needs fulfilled. You
can only become prosperous by serving others.
 Treat people as you wish to be treated and you will be
rewarded.

Giving it all away. Being Selfless.
 We are taught wrongly early on in life that the goal is
to accumulate. Winning is all about the bigger
houses, bigger cars. What hogwash. . .
 In a life where you enter without possessions and
leave without possessions, it’s all about the giving,
not the getting. It’s about being selfless. . .
 Once you’ve reached a level where you can give of
yourself without fear. You are a real success!

The Ultimate Goal, Being Happy!
 We all want to be happy, that’s the ultimate goal.
This can only be achieved by each individual’s
concept of what happiness is to them.
 Everyone is different and we are all unique. Some
people are happy washing the dishes. Some people
want to own the restaurant.
 Take the time to know yourself. Happiness means
living on your own terms and being honest with
yourself. Live your life on purpose, Be Happy!
