No one can ignore the much-needed growth of mind and self that can take place through self-improvement ideas.

Life has taught me so much. I learned to celebrate every small thing I used to take for granted because the next breath isn’t promised.

This life is full of positive and negative experiences, heartbreak, bitterness, and sweetness.

but we decide the one we want to remember.

Because There is also love,beauty & possibility , and new beginnings.

Embrace it all

Which makes us who we are

I have learned a lot from my life. I would love to share some lessons from my experiences of my existence.

The songs we listen to can change the way we see the world. So, I shared some of my favorite songs which motivate me the right way. These songs pretty much explain my entire perspective on life.

What is our experience of life?

The moment I decided to write this answer the very first thing which came to my mind was being even eligible to answer this question. Of course from that, we can say that we still think, what people will think. Every time this question comes to mind and goes away, the difference is sometimes it wins and other times it doesn’t.

“The easiest way to be reborn is to live and feel life every day.” Munia Khan

Different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. Yet one thing stays with us no matter where we go: our experiences. I have my whole life in front of me, where I would be meeting thousands of people and will definitely gain millions of experience.

“All your life you’re yellow. Then one day, you brush up against something blue, the barest touch, and voila, the rest of your life you’re green.” Tess Callahan

It’s from those experiences in life that we learn and grow. In this process of pursuing what we love, we can learn valuable lessons about ourselves and the world around us.

Every moment of your life is an experience.

Sounds good, right?

The moment I am writing this post is also an experience.

Philosophically I am an experiencer, experiencing the experience.

Life becomes meaningful if we understand that, the experiences lead us to the future and not to the past. But unfortunately, We remain steadfast in the past and expect the future to stay with us. This is the experience of life for some people including us in the past.

Become A Better Version of Yourself Series:

Today I am going to start the new series “ Become A Better Version of Yourself”. My purpose behind this series is to share with you guys my food of thoughts and what I learned after reading different books and listening to some great life coaches on youtube. I hope you will enjoy reading and learning new things from me. It is an honor for me to share my experiences and what I have knowledge with you here.

“There’s nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”

Ernest Hemingway

I’ve some different philosophies which I’m following in my daily ritual life. I think philosophy opens our minds to more possibilities other than the ones we have accepted from society as true. Philosophy is a fresh breath of air in a very belief-stuffy world.

“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world — that is the myth of the atomic age — as in being able to remake ourselves.” Mahatma Gandhi

Through philosophy, we have the ability to see past concepts and ideas and question reality. Philosophy is the contemplation of an open mind seeking the Truth as it breaks all barriers and frees itself to eventually reach beyond all beliefs and the mind itself.

One of my philosophies is to share with others what do you have.

To me, it means that sharing is the best gesture to show that we care. Sharing could either be sharing a thing or a piece of knowledge or even an experience, we show our human side which is based on feelings for another human who may or may not is feeling the same way, so yeah, be prepared to hear no when we offer someone something.

“Someone needs your actions to inspire his actions. Never forget, your little broken cake is someone’s daily meal! Care to share you little cake!”
Israelmore Ayivor

Sharing is a way to show how you value someone.

Become A Better Version of Yourself:

We live in a fast-paced world. Everyone wants to become the best version of themselves, but few actually do it. We’re our own worst enemies when it comes to achieving success, chasing our dreams, and living a life that’s filled with passion and purpose.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”

Bernard M. Baruch

We’re always searching for the next big thing, and we always want more than what we have. So, we need to make a big change in order to unleash the best version of ourselves. We become a better version of ourselves every time. No matter who we are, no matter what we did, no matter where we’ve come from, we can always change, become a better version of ourselves. When we understand our potential, we start to align ourselves with people who will help us become a better version of ourselves.

Why we would like to change ourselves

Actually, We’re human beings and there is a human tendency that when we are needy, we want to change ourselves but mostly we want to change ourselves for others, not ourselves and also we want to change the world as well but there are only a few of us who want to change themselves for themselves.

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” Andre Gide

The truth is, it is quite possible to change the world but for this, we have to change ourselves first. The things we want to see better in the world must be better infused into our nature first. we have to change our mindset, our choices, our habits, and of course our actions. That way we will make an impact on each person who encounters us. Thus the world around us will be changed automatically.

Final Thoughts:

We are Human beings and humans are not meant to stop growing. Alhamdulillah, We’re alive and we need to update and upgrade ourselves to become better persons, not others but ourselves. Everyone wants to become a better person myself included. but Authentic self-discovery isn’t easy. It takes courage and tenacity. To approach our essential self, we must turn away from distracting false beliefs that cloud or distort our self-perception. We need to reveal what drives us not superficial things like money or power, but what really drives us. Our ultimate purpose in life.

“Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.” William Faulkner

In this series, I’ll try reflecting on what makes me the best version of myself and I’ll put together some tips from reputable resources. Whether it’s becoming a more positive person. And we’ll together learn many things and also exchange our food of thoughts, opinions, and experiences with each other.

“We must have courage to bet on our ideas, to take the calculated risk, and to act. Everyday living requires courage if life is to be effective and bring happiness.” Maxwell Maltz

Appreciate your efforts. Never, never, never give up. You never know how close you are to succeeding.

The most amazing things in life tend to happen right at the moment you’re about to give up hope.

well, life is a journey in which u learn and simultaneously teach every day.

verily good deeds do away with evil deeds.

And that is a reminder for those who remember.

Be patient with yourself. And Keep learning!!

I will be calmer, I will spread love as long as I can, I will live a spiritual life, I would do what I please no matter what and I would prove my theories.

Always start your day by renewing your intention that everything you do for yourself and your community, whether it be your acts of worship or daily chores. It all has to be merely for the sake of Allah (SWT) and Also, I ask Allah (SWT) to make my work dedicated only to him and forgiveness from Allah (SWT), if I have got anything wrong. It is He who is the Hearing, the knowing.

Finally, İ pray Allah to benefit those who read this article and others, grant me truthfulness in what I say and do, preserve my thoughts and my pen from deviation and guide me in all my affairs.

And all praise and thanks are due to Allah, without Whose help and guidance nothing can be accomplished.

May Allah bless and protect you and your faith Ameen.
