To be a better version of yourself is what you should make a hobby everyday. it's one of the things that will push you to success but not everyone knows about it. Imagine how it will feel if everything you lay your hands on, becomes a success to you. 

There are somethings you need to put in place so that you can actually feel better about yourself. And not only the feeling but you can also be better than before. Without wasting much time let's get to those things that will bring out the best version of you.

1. Remove Negative People

Negative People?! Please don't get me wrong, what I mean is that you should remove any person that isn't helping you move forward, those people that talk down on you, those people or things that are substracting from your life instead of adding values to it. 

Even some friends can be negative to you too, now this is where it gets really tricky, because of the memories and all the fun stuff you shared together. Remember, i didn't say you should remove good friends from your life, what I said is to remove those that are NOT adding values to your life. If you really wants to be a better version of you, you have to stop listening to gossips, criticism and things that doesn't move you forward.

I have this friend that always talk himself out of things because of fear or shame, he always sabotage himself with words like, "I'm not good enough", "I'm not strong enough to do this", "I'm going to fail this topic" and when he fails the topic, he will say to himself, "I knew this is going to happen". He keeps on proving himself right, untill one exam day, the exam subject is History, and he loves that subject, he still come up with the same self sabotage thing, "Josh, I read a lot of books about History but I still don't think I can do this, you know, exam phobia, and the exam hall isn't conducive enough to think correctly". I told him that what will make him to fail this exam is himself, he loved this subject, and he got it all figured out by studying very well for the exam. Before he takes his transport to the exam hall, I told him to remove those thoughts of not going to make it and fill it up with good ones, and he's going to make it. He called me some days later, feeling so happy and full of joy, I didn't bother to ask him what makes him so happy because we both know why.

My point is that even your thoughts can be the negative one holding you back from your better self. You should always avoid self sabotage, it isn't helping you forward.

2. Commit 100% On Your Goals

Commitment says "No matter how crooked and impossible those things may seem to be, I will make it all better, only give me your time".

Giving your goals 100% commitment is one of the things you can do for yourself to bring out your best self. If it is a studying goal, or earning goal, or working goal, it is important to stick to it completely, no distractions and achieve it. It is going to make you a better version of you. The more money that comes in to your pocket, the more your net worth increases, and the more you study, the more your knowledge increases, and that's a big plus to you. And get this, your self value increases when you obey your own rules.

3. Learn From All Mistakes (Both Yours and Others)

Every mistakes that humans make, has lessons to teach. To be able to grasp those lessons, you have to make yourself available to learn and always pay attention to things happening within and around you. Read my full post on amending and learning from mistakes by following the link below.

To be better than you were, you have to learn from every of your mistakes. Not only for you, not to repeat the same mistake but to grasp life lessons from it. There are some people that changed their life entirely, only because they are able to learn from their mistakes, sometimes mistakes can be life changing. Learning mistakes is never limited to your mistakes alone, smart people learn from the mistakes of others as well.

An elder man once advised me that to become successful in life, you have to be wise enough to learn from the mistakes of others. Don't wait untill you experience it before you can learn from it, smart people learn from the mistakes of others. One of the entrepreneurship courses I took recently, talks about building a business from errs, it's interesting to participate in the program. But this is not about business of buying and selling, it is about you as a business, learn from the mistakes of people around you, build your walls to be stronger by figuring out what makes the wall of others weak and correct it.

4. Build Relevant Skills

Now this is talking about the knowledge you have acquire. Learn more about your field, study more skills relevant to you. I know you might be asking how this have to do with becoming a better version of you, but it does related very well. The level of your knowledge has a lot to do with becoming a better of you. Because the more you study the more your value increases and not only did your value increase, you are becoming a better version of you, you don't have to worry much about that area of your profession. Take for instance, you are a computer scientist or your dreams is to be a computer scientist and you have learnt all the coding languages, maybe a few coding languages before you start the course, how will you feel when your tutor said that the most of the important things in the course is coding. You will feel relieve with yourself about the course and when he is teaching, you will feel more relaxed, accepted and answer questions asked with more confidence. You will probably say, "Oh this course is a piece of cake". But mind you, this is an instance.

That is the understanding, I want you to get.
