How Will You Be A Better FRIEND, To You?

By Richard Brody             

How will you ever, be able to help anyone else, unless/ until, you, become, your own best FRIEND? While this may seem, basic, or make common sense, far too often, we proceed through life, taking actions, or proceeding along a path or course, which is counter - to, our personal best interests, and well - being! If you treated yourself, as you try to treat others, wouldn't you be better off? Whatever the mind of man can perceive and conceive, he can achieve! With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and why, doing so, will make you a better, happier, and more fulfilled individual.

1. Face facts; finesse; figure; fruition; future: Avoid the temptation to lie, to yourself, and face the facts, clearly, and carefully! Go beyond the surface, and proceed, with the degree of finesse, which helps you figure, yourself - out, and bring about the set of events, which will bring your finest future, to fruition!

2. Relevant; rationale; rational; responsive: The better you learn to know, and understand yourself, and your needs, priorities, goals, and perceptions, the more relevant, your behavior, might be, in a responsive, beneficial manner! Give yourself a check - up, from the neck - up, and fully examine your rationale, and whether, it serves you well, and is the most rational approach!

3. Integrity; ideas; imagination; innovate; inspiring: Be honest with yourself, because unless you proceed with the utmost degree of genuine integrity, you will never address, pursuing the ideas, which become personally, inspiring and motivating! Become an ideas - oriented individual, and delve deeply, with a relevant imagination, and become capable, and ready, to innovate, in a personally beneficial manner!

4. Efforts; excellence; energy/ energize: How do you know, if your efforts, are focused, in a beneficial way? Will you demand your utmost degree of genuine, personal excellence, instead of settling for good - enough? How will you energize yourself, in the most positive, productive way, so you proceed, with a higher degree of personal energy, and self - confidence?

5. Needs: When was the last time, you took the time, to examine, and fully consider, your personal needs, goals, priorities, and perceptions, and proceed, in the most productive manner?

6. Delve deeply; discover: Go beyond the surface, and delve deeply, into the potential options, available, in order to discover, the best course, for you to take!

Are you ready, willing, and able, to proceed, on a path, which most benefits you? If you don't help yourself, no one else will!

Getting To Know Yourself Better: 5 Steps

By Richard Brody  |   Submitted On January 09, 2020            

One of the challenges, to effectively, using the basics of self - help, is, there is no such thing, as, one - size - fits - all, when it comes to doing so! It's important to try to really, get to know yourself, in an accurate, comprehensive, objective, introspective manner! Unfortunately, many people, either, lie, to themselves, are in - denial, try to keep up, with the Joneses, etc, instead of taking the time, and making a concerted effort, to make themselves, better, and, as good, as they can become. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, a 5 - step, approach, to becoming, more capable, of, truly, knowing yourself.

1. Objective introspection: It takes time, and considerable effort, and commitment, to give yourself, a thorough, check - up, from the neck - up, using objective introspection. Perhaps, that's a contributing factor, to, why, so few people, do so! Will you be objective, and honest, with yourself, examining your strengths, and weaknesses, or, will you, lie, to yourself? How introspective, are you, ready, willing, and able, to be?

2. Personal strengths and weaknesses: Getting to know yourself, means, knowing, and understanding, thoroughly, your personal strengths, and weaknesses, and discovering, the best path, forward, to effectively, use areas of strength, and address any, and all, weaknesses! How can you improve, unless you begin, this way?

3. Degree of self - confidence: How self - confident are you, and why? Do you believe, you can, or can't? When obstacles, arrive, do you perceive these, as challenges, to overcome, or, debilitating, problems? You can think you can, or can't. Either way, you'll be correct!

4. Do you really, want, to help yourself?: People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan. Is that, really, so? It often seems, the fear of success, for many, far exceeds, their fears of failing! Self - discipline, in a proactive way, is a necessity, of becoming better, stronger, and feeling better, about your own existence!

5. Proactive, versus, procrastination: Although, procrastination, almost never, is productive, or achieves anything, many, proceed along that course, and put off, until tomorrow, things, they, really, should have done, yesterday! The best way to know yourself, and become the best, you can be, is to proceed, proactively, and put - yourself - first!

Getting to know yourself is helpful, necessary, and wise, yet, very few, seem, ready, willing, and/ or, able, to take the steps, needed! Are you, up to the task?
