7 Secrets of Self improvement—Tejvan Pettinger
“Self improvement is a continuous struggle to better ourselves; it requires the aspiration to transcend our weaknesses and limitations. There is no quick fix for our self development; it requires perseverance, patience and a constant aspiration to lead a better life. These are some of the factors that will expedite our progress.” Sri Chinmoy Centre member Tejvan Pettinger offers not a band-aid, but a permanent cure for the weaknesses of human nature.
The secret to continuous self-improvement, Tejvan shares, includes addressing in detail the following seven areas:
- Don’t just talk
- Discipline & regularity
- Think of others
- Vision, goals & progress
- Gain inspiration from others
- Mind, body & spirit
- The Power of Happiness
He writes:
“In talking about self improvement it is important to avoid making it sound like an intellectual exercise. Real self development requires a more holistic approach than merely understanding and reading. We should try to bring to the fore the capacity of the heart which embodies simplicity and joy. When we are sincerely happy, we can easily make progress. If we are miserable and frustrated everything becomes difficult. We don’t make progress through being miserable; we need to overcome any negative mindset.”
