Beyond Average

The verb “to improve” means “to make or become better, of higher quality”.The action of improving is something that has been lacking in our vocabulary and in our practical daily lives. We have been so busy with our own business and hurrying so much when doing our activities that we, sometimes, simply miss the goal. We do things almost automatically, without thinking about it. We just do it. Besides this, we don’t think if we are doing it well, we are just interested in doing what we are encharged to do, and finishing it soon. But what about the quality? What about the efficiency and the results?
It is such a challanging task to do everything we do in our daily lives correctly and efficiently. For example: when you are driving, you think about many subjects at the same time, such as “I have to take the kids at school, go to the supermarket, buy this and this, and then I need to do the housework, and later cook the dinner”, and etc; but you don’t really think about the action of driving. You don’t think if you are doing it right, and that’s why some troubles occur in the traffic. This is just a banal example, but things like this or even more complex happen with us every day without been percepted.
The main point which I want to reach is not that you must be picky with everything you do, but we should be carefull because we are not dealing with “stuffs” all the time, but we are mostly dealing with people, with lives. We should try to do things as better as possible not only for our own sake, but for people’s sake, in a general sense. By being good, you show people that you are willing to do that, you become an example and inspire them to be good too. Good actions bring us benefits, and the more benefits we have, the happier we become.
When we find something in life that is really hard for us, we have the bad habit of thinking about that as a barrier, or even giving up. However, we could see it in a new light: what about getting this as a challenge? Take what bothers you the most and transform it in a task for your life. Try to do it better, do it again if it is needed, and repeat it until you accomplish it with victory. Challenge yourself, show yourself and people around you that you are able to do that, and that anything is possible in life since you have faith.
Thus, I incentivate you to improve yourself (and myself) as a person, as a human being. Do the best as you can. Be nice, helpful, willing, positive. Make a good food for your husband, be fun with your kids or friends, say good morning to your neighbor, make somebody laugh, help your relatives. The change and the improvement begin from inside to outside, and when you do it, you don’t only change yourself, but also people around you. I’m sure that if you try it everyday, step by step, you’ll become such a great person to the world, you will be beyond average.
