What Is Self-Improvement?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, self-improvement has become an industry of its own. Motivational speakers travel the world to deliver empowering speeches and sell their books and masterclasses. The aim of this article is not to make you drown in the world of self-help, but to help you get better, learn and grow. How to do what you like and figure out what\u2019s the point of life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Goodlife Engineering<\/a>, we want to help you become the best version of yourself. Yet, life is not so much about reaching the perfect persona, but striving for it. By learning who you really are you can unleash your potential and engineer a good life<\/a> for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re about to dive into self-improvement. What can you do to get to know yourself better and figure out the meaning of your life? The fact is that we\u2019re all going through similar things – humans around the world struggle with the same issues. Through working on yourself, you can truly change the world and help the people around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn and Grow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ever since you were born, you have been learning. At first, everything was a challenge. Walking, speaking, interacting with people – you had to learn all of these things gradually. Now, they all come to you naturally and you don\u2019t even think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to personal development is the learn and grow approach. Every piece of information you acquire stays with you, often unconsciously, and has an impact on who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must learn and grow, so change new knowledge into automatic habits that you use to your advantage subconsciously. The key to mastering any subject at school is not constantly thinking about how to use a math formula or a grammar structure, but to interweave it with your intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you acquire information instead of just remembering it, you can learn and grow. The human psyche is a complex system. By introducing certain connections in your unconscious, your life will truly transform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Better You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every bit of information matters. For this reason, if you want to become a better you, you should pay exceptional attention to the stimuli you let in. It\u2019s not just about books, films, or subjects at school. We humans are social animals, and the people around you matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you should define what \u201ca friend\u201d means to you. Friendship is about more than just hanging out with each other. To build a meaningful bond, it takes trust and reciprocal help. Make friends with people who want the best for you, who want to make you a better you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may sound harsh, but you must be selective about the people you surround yourself with. You won\u2019t be able to become a better you if the ones closest to you keep dragging you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people are just toxic and have a negative impact on your life. Of course, it\u2019s not about giving up on a person every time you disagree, but about making up your mind. Who can you really trust? Which of the people you know wants to help you become a better you? Who is worth your time, and who will bring you nothing but regress, suffering, and trouble?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do What You Like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re the sole conductor of your train called life. Yes, you\u2019re but an insignificant part of somebody else\u2019s story – in fact, there\u2019s billions of people who don\u2019t even know you exist. Nonetheless, in your own story, you\u2019re the main character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only limitations you encounter are in your own head. How can you do what you like? Social norms may restrain you from doing certain things only if you decide to accept them. A tragic event will stop you from being happy only if you let it drag you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be yourself and don\u2019t let others tell you who you should or shouldn\u2019t be. As long as doing what you like isn\u2019t synonymical with hurting other people, you can be whatever you want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, do what you like and live your life just like you want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Self-Improvement:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the Point?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finding meaning in life ain\u2019t easy. In modern society, we struggle with identity crises. Some people find their purpose in a nationality, a political agenda, or a religion. Yet, with so many options to choose from, you can still ask yourself: What\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the point in going to work every day? Why is it important to have a family and make money? What\u2019s the point in being alive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re sorry to disappoint you, but there\u2019s no one, fixed answer. The truth is that the universe doesn\u2019t give us a predestined purpose. In your life, you can do what you like to learn and grow. In short, the meaning and purpose of your life is whatever you want it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming trauma and dramatic events is a difficult topic. It takes time to get better after a letdown or a loss of a loved one. It can get hard, but keep in mind that it\u2019s the challenges we overcome and the suffering we go through that make us stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get better and take as much time as you want. Talk to the people you trust or spend some time alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Components of a Good Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our lives entail a plethora of sub-components that together can help you become a better you. Some of them let you do what you like, others may be helpful when trying to get better. Nowadays, we\u2019re barraged by a multitude of choices to engineer a good life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ubiquity of the internet and ever-emerging novel technologies make our lives both easier and more difficult. With new solutions, there come new issues. To take control of the role of technology in your life, it\u2019s crucial to know how to choose the right technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking Care of the Mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To unleash your full potential and master self-improvement, you need to take care of both your body and your mind. Today, brain-enhancing nootropics and memory supplements<\/a> can help you put your cognitive abilities to a next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sense of belonging is an important component of a good life. To have a place that you can call your own and spend time with your loved ones is essential. What’s the point of creating such a place? Through indoor design and furniture<\/a> you can partly express yourself and create a space where you feel at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toxicity of Self-Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When taking a dive into self-improvement, you must be aware of its dangers. As we\u2019ve established at the beginning of this article, self-improvement has become an industry of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from helping you become a better you and teaching you to learn and grow, every motivational coach has a hidden motive. Making money, selling books and tickets, expanding their net worth. We\u2019re not claiming that every motivational speaker tries to scrounge money off of you, but be aware that the nature of their vocation is twofold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to avoid this void and prevent yourself from falling into this perpetual circle? Once you\u2019ve read a self-improvement book, you might notice how your perspective has changed. You feel like a different person, your values changed, you understand life better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The obvious urge that comes next is to buy a next book, watch another talk, purchase another ticket. If this one thing changed your life so much, maybe you don\u2019t even know how much you\u2019re missing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold your horses right here. If you keep consuming new self-improvement products, you won\u2019t really have the opportunity to act on the things you\u2019ve found out. Learn and grow, instead of just consuming. Sure, that\u2019s what the self-improvement industry would like you to do, but how does that help you become a better you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take you time to implement the new things into your life. Only through self-aware actions can you work on developing yourself and engineering a good life<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusions: The Importance of Self-Improvement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a better you takes time. What’s the point of self-improvement? Life is a complex process, and we need to learn and grow to combine the components of a good life. Self-improvement is a growing industry, so while reading all those self-help books don\u2019t forget: it\u2019s about you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you try to get better after a trauma or you just want to do what you like, self-improvement may be quite efficient in showing you the way to become the best version of yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
