Keys to defining the best version of ourselves

Characters like Steve Jobs, Isaac Newton, Thomas Edison or Albert Einstein have taught us the importance of defining the best version of ourselves, of fighting to make it a reality and being faithful to the person we carry inside. In this way, the effort we invest in this process will never be lost.

Albert Einstein was not a good student in school: he was absent-minded and did not pay attention. He himself said that “I have had such a slow development that I have not begun to ask myself questions about space and time until I have been older.”

The keys to defining the best version of ourselves

Defining the best version of ourselves is a path of improvement and an effort to get out of your comfort zone.. Stop for a moment to think about who you really are, to get away from the image that others expect of you and to bring out your essence.

Focus and center your attention

First of all, it is important to have a goal about the best version of the person we want to be. What does that person you want to be do? What doesn’t he or she do?What people do you interact with? What things make you happy and others don’t?

For a moment We must focus on ourselves and make a deep reflection that distances us from false beliefs. If we leave them aside, we will take a huge step towards getting closer to our essence as people, to our Self. It is important to be honest and not fall into self-deception.

Your happiness depends on you

If you listen to yourself when you speak, You will realize that you send yourself many negative messages that prevent you from finding the best version of yourself.: “I can’t”, “I’m not capable”, “I’m afraid”, “I’m fine like this”, “This doesn’t depend on me”.

“They made us believe that each of us is half of an orange, and that life only makes sense when we find the other half. “They didn’t tell us that we are already born whole, that no one in our life deserves to carry on our shoulders the responsibility of completing what we lack.”

-John Lennon-

Besides, We tend to look to other people or events for the causes of our unhappiness. This way we can have a perfect excuse and make it seem like we can’t do more than what we do to be happy when we still have a lot of room for action.

Learn to take risks

Being the best version of yourself means taking risks, trying hard, knowing that in some aspects you will fail and in others you will succeed. Understand that along the way you will learn, that there will be people who support you and others who will not and that You will never be the same person again.

Taking risks also means leaving your comfort zone, those circumstances that surround you and that you accept thinking that the known bad is better. Being in your comfort zone means you have a life that doesn’t make you happy and you don’t do anything to change it.

Persist and be flexible

Defining and working on the best version of yourself is often not an easy process, nor is it comfortable. For those moments when you choke, you will need great willpower. Persistence is based on the power of visualization and focus.

“Those who say it is impossible should not bother those who are doing it”

-Albert Einstein-

The ability to be flexible will allow you to change those negative results that will have no other nature if you continue to persist in the same direction or in the same approach. Think that in most projects there has to be a place for failure and learning. Knowing how to detect it in time and take good notes will, in these cases of difficulty, be what will allow you to move forward.

Bet on your best version

If you have defined your best version, it is time to start working to achieve it. Plan the strategies and resources you are going to use to achieve it and divide the path into small steps that can confirm your progress.
