The Least Controversial Road to Self-Improvement Rocket Fuel

Sometimes I like to dabble in controversy.


Partly because it's useful. There are a lot of wrong ideas floating around out there. It pays to stir the cage and kick the pot. If it creates attention, then so much the better.

And partly because it's fun. If you want to get better at refining, communicating and defending your ideas, summon controversy.

I'm going to skip that for this article.

Because what I'm about to describe is the least controversial approach to self-improvement imaginable.

(It's still useful to hear, though.)

Are you ready?

It goes a little something like this:

If you want to improve as a person, you should... improve... as a person.

And the gasps echo around the dusty hall...

Or not.

Okay okay, hardly stellar advice. There's nothing less informative than a logical tautology.

But here's why that's useful.

Some folk hear that and scream "yes! That's the point! Tell me how!"

If you're one of them, I don't blame you.

But you might be overthinking things a little.

If you want to know how, you've set the benchmark too high. Any improvement at all will do.

Yes, it's great to set high standards for yourself. Keep cultivating that - a desire to transcend your limitations will serve you well, my friend.

But if you're stuck, it's not helping you right now.

So let's put it aside for the moment, knowing full well you'll come back to it soon.

If you want to improve, then improve. Any amount will do, and any topic will do. No need to be fussy or particular.

What hobby have you always wanted to master?

Or what skill do you think would transform your career or business?

Now's the time to dust that off and give it a go.

It'll help you in the long run. Learning a hobby or skill teaches you more than the skill. It teaches you how to learn in general. It encourages you to stick with a project and do something for the fun of it.

And who knows - if you're creative or lucky, you'll find a use for it later.

There's an even better reason to learn a hobby, though:

If it's the right hobby, it'll inspire you.

And inspiration is pure, high-octane, military grade self-improvement fuel.

It'll make everything you do so much easier and more effective.

The best part?

It's portable. Becoming inspired in one part of your life elevates every part of your life.

So if you needed an excuse to pursue something fun for a change, that's it.

You're welcome.

You can begin that simple self-improvement technique now.

And enjoy its benefits for the rest of your life.

If you really want to take your mind to new places? To improve more you dreamed possible?

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
