Becoming a better person

My love for motivation brings me to this topic I have been pondering over the week. I tell people being a girl child is a lot of hard work but in my country, it is believed that a boy child is the only hard-working one in the society but thanks to every lady of valor out there those contributing beautifully to the development in the societies, those that never look down on themselves.
Today, I will be touching both genders that are both male and female. The questions every individual should ask themselves are who am I? Why am I created? but it's so unfortunate that people don't even care to know the purpose of their existence all they want to do now is enjoy life at its best and just leave the earth when the time comes without making any impact in life.

What does it mean to become a better person?
Becoming a better person comes with lots of hard work, tolerance, diligence, obedience, and sacrifices but can we all do what it takes to become a better person? The answer is no because not everyone can make all these sacrifices. Taking myself as an example, I have every opportunity to be wayward if I wanted to but I choose not to because I know of its consequences. Growing up in a strict family where both parents don't tolerate indiscipline I have learned to brace up and do what is right at the right time because I never wanted to disappoint my parents. Training myself into becoming a better person was tough work for me because as a youth I wanted to do what my mates were doing, I wanted to enjoy life, wear sexy dresses, hang out with friends, and travel to different places but due to where I am coming from I wasn't opportune to do all that so I had to discipline myself and stay away from anything or anyone that can sway me from the right part.

Different challenges came my way as a young lady but I never give in to any because I restrained myself from certain things that I perceive aren't good for my future and things I see that can ruin my future in our society, today discipline is lost. People no longer believe in what is right, and people no longer want to be patient and that is the major cause of problems in our societies today. Training a child in a godly way has become a difficult task because some parents no longer care about their children anymore, they also wanted to live their lives not minding the consequences of their actions.
To become a better person you have to put yourself under caution that is you have to be patient, calm, quiet, and humble, all these attributes might look the same but they are quite different. Any human who cannot subject himself or herself to correction is bound to make mistakes that might cause him or her his or her life. Becoming a better person has to do with you focusing on what you want to achieve, knowing fully the purpose of your creation, and doing what it takes to achieve your goals.

Having high self-esteem is not pride, it is respecting yourself and dealing with people according to their peculiarity. If you care so much about what people say or think about you it will be so difficult for you to move ahead in life, you must first realize who you are and the purpose you are created for. Once these are known then you will start fighting for being a better person and maximizing every opportunity that comes your way.
Some factors can derail an individual from the purpose of their creation such as:-

  1. Inferiority complex
  2. Bad company
  3. Peer group pressure
  4. Procrastination
  5. Fear of the society
    These few factors can kill dreams, they can render one useless in the journey of life.

In conclusion
Be yourself, never look down on yourself, never allow anyone to talk you down, and most importantly know what you want for yourself. Take advice from people but think it through before acting on any advice you are given, do not compare yourself with another, know fully who you are and what you want then work towards it with full concentration and prove to the world you can do it.

I totally agree with you, becoming a better you is really a very critical task but as we all know, once you put your heart into something, that is to love it, it's never really hard. I guess I should recommend a book to help you achieve your goal of becoming a better you, that is

Becoming a better you by Joel osteen
