4. Ps. 32:8.
I will instruct you and
in teach you in the
way you should go;
I will counsel and
watch over you.
The Holy Bible is the
ultimate guidebook for
self improvement,
sometimes we just
need to put a little
more effort into
understanding the
lessons written in it.
5. Jer 29:11
“For I know the plans
I have for you,”
declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you
and not to harm you,
plans to give you
hope and future.”
Do we have negative
thinking in our life?
6. PHIL. 4:6
Do not be anxious
about anything, but
in everything, by
prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your
requests to God.
7. Take care of your body
1 Cor. 6:19-20
Do you not know
that your body is a
temple of the Holy
Spirit, who is in you,
whom you have
received from God?
You are not your
own, you were
bought at a price.
Therefore honor
God with your body.
how can we say that
we are “self
improving” if we
continue living with
bad habits, neglect
our bodies and
destroy our health day
after day?
8. Journal for your mental and emotional
health
• Phil 4:6
• Do not be anxious about
anything, but in
everything, by prayer
and petition, with
thanksgiving, present
your requests to God.
9. Simplify your life
Ecc 5:10
Whoever loves money
never has money
enough;
whoever loves wealth
is never satisfied with
his income.
Simplifying is the only
way to true life
balance: financially,
emotionally, and
physically.
10. Live your life with passion
Ecc 5:18-19
It is good and proper for a
man to eat and drink, and to
find satisfaction in his
toilsome labor under the sun
[…] Moreover, when God gives
any man wealth and
possessions, and enables him
to enjoy them, to accept his
lot and be happy in his work –
this is a gift of God. He
seldom reflects on the days of
his life, because God keeps
him occupied with gladness of
heart.
It is a real gift in life
if you can enjoy your
occupation, if you
can put all your
passion into your
work. And it is
possible. With faith
and a lot of work of
course
11. Persevere and work towards your
goals
Phil 3:14
Forgetting what is
behind and
straining toward
what is ahead, I
press on toward
the goal to win the
prize for which God
has called me
heavenward in
Christ Jesus.
How easy is it to give
up in life?
12. Develop your spirituality
Matt 6:33
But seek first his
kingdom and
righteousness, and
all these things will
be given to you as
well.
Phil 4:13
I can do all things
through Christ who
strengthens me.

14. If you are interested in growing as a person, improving your
life and achieving your life balance then you need to pick
your self improvement path. The steps that you have just
read are universal but only you can decide what will be the
purpose of your life … what will be the deep core belief that
will be pushing you forward no matter how good or how
bad you are feeling.
Our life has become everything we always wanted (and
much-much more) after we turned our life to God. It was a
simple step that changed everything forever. Each of the
steps that I described above helped us grow, overcome
difficulties and find strength when we needed it. Even
inspiration for this post was an answer to ou prayer.
But this is just my life; you have to make your decisions and
choose your path.
15. To improve in GOD we need a
path?
Now choose
your path?

You need to have good teachers to grow in life.
Learning from these teachers expands your knowledge, opens up your mind to new possibilities and lets you avoid painful mistakes (at least some of them.)
I often hear about people saying that they are afraid that bad things will happen to them.
They think that they do not deserve good life.
They are always expecting a problem jumping at them from right around the corner.
The thing about this people is that most frequently bad things do happen to them.
Various problems do arise in front of them. And their life turns into a negative snowball.
Negative attitude never does anything good for you.
If it’s difficult for you to believe that you do deserve only great things in life then you should listen to this:
Some people swear by them and put a lot of effort into creating their personal affirmations (mantras) that they use for different situations in their lives. They work,
However, instead of creating some random phrase you can memorize Bible verses and use them as your personal affirmations.
You will train your brain, find your emotional balance and grow spiritually at the same time.
Self improvement tends to relate more towards mental and emotional development.
Journaling is a powerful way to combat stress in life, get through tough periods and clear your mind in general. Sometimes it is difficult to start this exercise because you might not know what to write about.
You can start journaling down your prayers. Why not? A prayer is your dialogue with God, it is the ultimate expression of your feelings, emotions and troubles. Write it down, be grateful for what you have, ask for support and help in your troubles, open your heart no matter how big or small your request might be.
The life of material riches and possessions is empty.
The joy that we get from new purchases doesn’t last but a few minutes (okay, maybe a few days at the most.)
Things that clutter our houses create the same clutter in our mind.
They leave no space for spirituality, for genuine emotions and priceless memories.
Very easy. However, you cannot grow if you do not persevere or if you do not work towards your goals.
Sometimes it’s very difficult to continue: some obstacles may get in our way, our motivation dwindles and projects look enormous and overwhelming.
Of course you can give up and choose a different path, you can lose sight of your dreams, you can settle for something ordinary and safe.
This is not life though; it is running away from life.
Each one of us can have their own definition of spirituality.
While spirituality is a key element of any religion it is still possible to develop it apart from religious beliefs (it’s not my way, but it is still a way.)
Spirituality and strong beliefs give you a sense of purpose in this world;
they help you fight your fears and work in line with your passion;
they help you discover who you are and grow towards who you want to be.
Spirituality gives you the core belief that you can always go back to and find your strength in it.
