Be a Little Better

Think It and Become It
by Cindy Beck
If you want to cultivate a quality in yourself, visualize yourself talking and acting that way. For instance, if you want to be more patient, you might envision circumstances that would normally cause you to lose patience, and in your mind see yourself as being patient. If applied consistently, visualization works because you see yourself as if you’ve already accomplished the trait that you want to acquire—which causes you to become that type of person.
Have you used visualization or another technique to improve yourself or accomplish a goal? Leave a comment.
The Spirit’s Influence in the Process of Self-Improvement
01 year ago
Jeanette Green, mother of a daughter with microcephaly and another daughter who is adopted, writes about a moment of clarity she had while going for a run in the rain after Christmas.
As I conquered the steep beastly hill, my legs ached and wanted to stop, but my thoughts continued. From Christmas, I thought of the tradition of setting new goals for the New Year. And I had a moment of clarity; it all made sense. You see, for a month or so, the world focuses on the Lord. We sing carols, many bearing testimony of the birth of Jesus Christ. We are kind, patient, think of others first–whether we are aware of it or not, we are being Christ-like, for a month–at least. How appropriate, then, is it that we would have the desire and be motivated to improve upon ourselves and become more like Him?

Be Diligent and Consistent

Working toward any goal takes more than just figuring out what you want. Joy shares her keys to success for accomplishing any task:
Being DILIGENT means taking little steps to accomplish BIG things.
Being CONSISTENT means continue taking those “little steps” over and over until they become habits. Then use those good habits to accomplish GREAT things.

Children Should Begin to Set Goals
21 year ago
As we approach the end of one year and prepare to begin a new, we can talk for a moment about helping children to set goals.
The fantastic thing about setting goals is the importance it places on making step-by-step approaches to eventually accomplishing it. Simply stating, ‘I want to get an A in math by March’ doesn’t get very far if there are no guidelines to follow, or nothing to help mark one’s progress.
