Focus on being more aware of the areas you struggle in. Be aware of your bad habits. Be aware of your good habits and the areas you excel in. 

If you truly want to improve your life, you need to be focused on constant improvement. 

Track your days to figure out where you spend most of your time. If you realize you’ve spent 4 hours this week watching tv, try to watch 2 hours the next week and use that time to work on improving your skills.

Life’s too short to waste time. Think about improving yourself. In everything you do ask yourself if it’s going to benefit your future self. Is this conversation or activity adding value. If not, change it.

The people you hangout with have impacts on you and your outlook too. It’s always thought to lose friends, but if you feel like someone isn’t adding anything to your life or dragging you down, end the relationship. Negative people want to drag you down with them. Hangout with positive people who are looking to get better and grow.

Always try to be improving. Always be learning. Set a schedule where you dedicate time to working on yourself. Set up and month budget on self improvement. You need to spend money on your future. The biggest investment you can have is an investment in yourself.

Read books. Listen to podcast and audiobooks. Take courses on your subject. Talk to successful people in your field. Ask them how you can improve. Get feedback from close associates. 

If you really want to get feedback, don’t take it personally. The other person is trying to make you better. Show them that you’re focused and eager to get better. They’ll respect that and more than willing to help. 

Constantly look for areas of improvement. Don’t settle for mediocrity. You’re journey for improvement will never end. You’ll always find things you can do better. Focus on eliminating the bad habits in your life and replace them with good habits. 

“We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.” -Benjamin Franklin
