Change yourself, starting from now

We can't change the environment, but we can change ourselves

By Michael M JonesPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

On the track of life, some run fast, some run slow; some give up midway, some continue to work hard; some live for others, some live for themselves ...... each seemingly ordinary choice, maybe the key to determining fate.

Many times, the effort may not seem to be of much use, but the lack of effort is afraid that there is not even hope.

Day by day, you mix day by day, and finally, noiselessly mix yourself out.

Once everything, such as the passing clouds, no longer exists, by then it will be too late to regret it.

There is this time to think, rather than starting now to change themselves, so that they become better, have more autonomy, and can choose to go their own way.

And change yourself, starting from the smallest things in life, step by step slowly.

1、Let self-discipline cost energy

The benefits of self-discipline we all understand but said so much, but really can do but very little.

Why? Because most people think of "self-discipline" will involuntarily resist, think it must be a very difficult thing to do.

But I don't think there is a gap between imagination and reality, and thinking too much about it just adds to my fear of the unknown, so it's better to face it bravely and test the ease of self-discipline with practice.

Perhaps, one step at a time, self-discipline will be easier than you think.

After all, self-discipline is not something that can be achieved in a day, it is a habit that develops over time, breaking down the difficulty into countless "easy" plates, down-to-earth, step by step, slowly, over time, it will become a habit and become the instinct of life.

No one knows everything at the beginning, a good habit, a good habit to adhere to, slowly build their self-discipline system, you will find: that self-discipline is simpler than imagined, but most people have magnified the fear of it, choose to avoid it, thus missing the opportunity to change themselves.

When self-discipline becomes instinctive, life will be changed forever.

2、Keep the vigorous learning power

There is a path to the mountain of books and diligence is the path, and the sea of learning is endless.

On the road of learning, there is no shortcut to take, diligence and hard work are essential.

Not a stage of learning, but live to grow old, learn old, although the teacher always says "to ...... time, you do not need to learn", but after growing up to experience more things, will understand: no matter what stage of life can not be separated from learning.

Only by constantly deepening their own, they can better build up their strength, prepare for the unknown trials and tribulations, and achieve a better version of themselves.

Do not think that the current life is very stable can be once and for all, to know that no one can be sure that the accident and tomorrow which will come first, resting on the status quo, not to learn new things, is undoubtedly at the end of their own "life".

The best people need to maintain a strong learning force to improve themselves, so as not to be eliminated in the process of the times.

Many times, want to keep up with the times, we must maintain a strong learning force, and constantly deep plow ourselves.

Only the harder you work, the better you can make yourself.

3, think about doing, never delay until tomorrow

Live, the most afraid of a "drag", so that the things that can be done quickly, are dragged to the last day to do in a hurry.

Seems to be the completion of the task, but the quality is not necessarily the same.

Even, sometimes delayed for a long time, but also forget to do, just like some people borrowed money not immediately returned, dragged a long time to forget, others are embarrassed to call you back because of your face, but the feelings of each other will be affected.

When I was young, I had summer homework to do, and some people started to catch up on their homework once they were on vacation and chose to finish it before they went to play; some people forgot about the existence of homework once they were on vacation and were busy playing everywhere, playing until school started soon, only to remember that they had a bunch of homework that they hadn't written.

Compared to the former who finish their homework leisurely and freely, the latter can only copy the answers because they are in a hurry, making summer homework lose its meaning of existence, and writing it is the same as not writing it.

Instead of putting things off until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, it is better to do it as soon as you think of it, so that today's work is done today, to reduce unnecessary trouble.
