When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
– Paolo Coelho
Meaning of this quote:
Growth happens when we aim for it. When we strive for growth, everything around us grows with us. When you work toward betterment, everything around you improves as well.
Isn’t it true that we mostly attract what we aim at? We are likely to attract negativity when we keep focusing on it, and in the same way, we draw positivity when we focus on it.
Every action has a reaction, so choose your actions wisely. You define your destiny with your thoughts, actions, and reactions.
As we strive to improve, we directly or indirectly motivate others to become the best versions of themselves and it is in that way that we foster collective growth and change. The light you ignite not only makes you shine, but it makes everyone around you shine as well.
Aim to be better than what you were before
There are endless reasons to choose negativity or to get disappointed. Life is not linear. There are ups & downs, twists & turns. Problems are part of life. Despite this, there are plenty of reasons to be grateful and to choose positivity over negativity.
We should be grateful for what we have because what we have might be someone else’s dream. It is important to utilize what we currently have to its full potential rather than focusing too heavily on what we lack.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
– Ralph Marston
You can only make tomorrow better by using today more effectively than yesterday. Things don’t improve on their own, they always require positive actions.
Don’t let your limitations limit your goals. There are endless possibilities when you don’t worry about others’ opinions. In the end, your own opinion of yourself is more important than what others think of you.
Things don’t just happen overnight; nothing great has ever been created in a short period of time. In reality, it is always a process of making things better and better over time.
The key is to not strive to be number one, but rather strive to be better than what you were yesterday. Realize that you’re not competing with anyone else; you’re competing with yourself.
With confidence, hard work, dedication, and a drive to improve every day, you can achieve anything you put your mind to. Growth happens when you aim to do something in a better way than it was being done yesterday.
Live a life full of humility, gratitude, intellectual curiosity, and never stop learning.
