7 WAYS TO BECOME THE BEST YOU

Neyara Nior By Posted on 0 4 m read 205 views

There are so many ways to better yourself, and grow daily. Everyone wants to be the best, but only a few actually put in the effort to be the best. If you’re serious about growing yourself, here are seven easy and effective ways to become a best you. 

7. EDUCATE YOURSELF

Education is important, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I’m not saying we should all be walking around with graduate degrees, but never be afraid of learning more, and going beyond. Learning isn’t always in a classroom. You can learn some of the best lessons in the real world and through traveling. 

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
-Benjamin Franklin

You will always reap beautiful rewards when you’re open to learning more.  You will never know your own potential if you never get out of your one dimensional box. Never settle, you deserve to explore. Be vulnerable to new experiences, take yourself out of your comfort zone and be free.

6. FIND YOUR PASION

Have you found that thing that you LOVE? That thing that moves your spirit and makes you feel alive? If you haven’t, that’s okay, because you’ll know when you find it.

When you find your passion, it will move you and those who you come into contact with you. If your passion is in drawing, writing, or building putting your all into it will be effortless. Don’t worry about anyone’s opinion, because there will be so many people that will love what you do because they will see the passion you’ve poured into your craft. We often look to be perfect at our passion, but perfection is nonexistent, because you get better each day. Continue to pour into your passion and share your passion.

5. FIND A MENTOR

Motivational speaker and self help guru, Jim Rohn, once said,

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” 

This speaks volumes. I guess momma was right, huh? You are who you hang around. So make sure those five people count!

Be careful who you put your energy into, and who’s energy you allow into your life. You always want to be around those who want what’s best for you, and you should want what’s best for them in return. Although you will learn from your mentor, remember that it’s still a two lane street, you both should offer something to each other that will grow you both. You never want to be a person who continuously takes from others. Just as you are happy to receive, you should be just as happy to give.

4. BE A MENTOR

Selfishness is never a quality you want to have. Give freely, teach someone about something they don’t know, or want to know. You never know what impact you may have on somebody. You could bring out the potential and success of a person that they may not have known they had. You don’t have to tell all of your secrets, there are some things only you should know, but never be afraid to help grow someone. 

3. POSITIVE PEOPLE ONLY

Negativity won’t do anything good for you anyway! Some people may not understand your plans, and future goals, so keep yourself around like-minded people who will push you to better yourself. Remove all those leeches from your life! You deserve to be uplifted even if you feel your goals are small. Pessimistic people are no good for you if you are trying to be successful at anything. Remember, you are who you attract, so if you find yourself around a lot of negativity and unhappy people, check yourself. Make sure you have a positive outlook on life, and are determined to show the greatness within you. You’ll be surprised how much your positive attitude can change your perspective, and life.

2. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

If you want to grow, place yourself in uncertainty. I dropped everything and left for Washington, D.C., and I don’t regret it. My struggle was truly real in the city. I experienced everything from a homicide on my block, no heat in the winter to my car being crashed into in a stolen car chase. However, I met some amazing people, and I worked everywhere from NBC to the Capitol. Personal growth only occurs when you are faced with an unprecedented situation that forces you to expand your comfort boundaries. This is how you become stronger.

1. VISUALIZE WHO YOU ARE

As I continue to move forward with entrepreneurship, I often wonder what is my niche, and what I want to be known for. One of my girlfriends saw me struggling with this and she told me to write out my obituary one day. I thought she had gone crazy, (things that makes you say WTF?!). Little did I know this was one of the best things I could ever do! I had to force myself to think, how do I want to be remembered when I depart this Earth, how I want my future great-grandchildren to see me, and, in all, the legacy I would be leaving behind. I tell anyone who is trying to find themselves to do the same. Of course you don’t have to write your obituary, but at least write out the type of woman you want to be, and what you want to be known for. Sit down, write the vision and make it plain!

Remember that you’re valuable, know yourself worth, and believe in yourself; I promise you will be happy, and live an awesome life. Go get what’s out there for you, whether you start your own business, or go overseas to volunteer. Never stop growing, accept your flaws, and know that your life has already begun.
