Self Improvement Begins With Self Examination

Hello, and welcome to my Self Improvement blog. We all desire to make ourselves "better" in some way or another. My goal with this blog is to share lots of self-improvement tips, and to share glimpses of my own journey.

I have called this "The Self-Examined Life" because we have to take a good look at ourselves first. Then we can decide what we need to work at improving.

This principle is true in our spiritual walk. You may be familiar with the scripture that says something like "Examine yourself to see whether you be in the faith." Apparently, it's easy to drift off-course and not realize it. That's why we're reminded of the need to "examine yourself" to be sure we're still true to our purpose.

The same principle of self-examination applies in the other areas of our lives, too. It's easy to look at people around us and see what we think are flaws and shortcomings. But it's not so easy to scrutinize ourselves. That's why we need to train ourselves to look closely at our own lives so we can recognize what needs to be changed and improved.

I'll be posting thoughts that occur to me along my self-improvement journey. So, check back regularly to see my latest posts. Hopefully you will be motivated, encouraged and inspired by some of them.

I've recently created a self improvement website where you can find some useful resources. Have a look at:

Please feel free to make comments on this blog. I look forward to sharing the journey with you.
