Are you passive or active? A self-improvement question

Every day I listen to the same comments; “They should improve
this”, “They must change that”, “They have to do something about
it”, “It is unfair that…”. Moans, sometimes fair complain,
sometimes not.

Do you use to adopt a passive attitude with most of the matters
related to your own life? Do you leave your self-improvement and
personal growth on others hands?

You go to work on time. You do your tasks and you leave on time.
– May be not because you are working overtime and don’t getting
payment for that. - You do not care about anything else. This is
fair if you are only worried about your fortnight or monthly
payment.

Have you asked yourself what could you do to improve your life?

You have the potential to make generate ideas that will help you
to reduce cost, improve your productivity, improve your health,
and improve the satisfaction of your customers or, simply, with
a positive impact in any of the matters of your interest.

Among these, could be improving your level of co-operation and
integration in your community to show your wishes of being a
person respectful with your environment and supporting at local
level.

But, my friend, to have the potential is not enough. You must
take the reins of you self-improvement and personal growth.

What is amazing me is that you are constantly asking for
feedback about your performance. How you did on your last date?
How good are you at work? How good are you on bed? You know you
are asking for this kind of things. So, what are you doing with
so much information?

You are full of talents and should not be only a responsibility
for your managers to help you to show them.

I will tell you something that could burst your mindset.
Something you already have and possibly you are not able to use
properly yet.

INFORMATION IS PASSIVE.

Doesn’t matter if you have a lot or a few. Information does
nothing by itself.

ACTION DOES.

Have you try to move a glass? You know how to do it.

Just try. If you are moving the glass you are not just trying.
You are actually acting and moving the glass.

It is your responsibility to express your talent, not only to
your personal benefit, but to get the World that we all desire.

I encourage you to express your talent. I am totally convinced
that you will get a double benefit, self-improvement and
positive contribution to achieve the better World we desire.

PS: I write this article firmly believing that “the Earth’s
Soul” come from the souls of whom, with their actions, made this World a reality.
