  • Self-Improvement

    Hajer Rikabi, President and Founder, Thrive Coaching CORP

    As a human I can't imagine life without the self-improvement. Self improvement is a human nature since ever, it's overlapping in every aspect in our lives. From the basics of the life like the way we talk, walk, eat and deal to the life improvement level education, goals, relationships. MORE >

    Self improvement is the way of wanting things, people and life to be better in every way we can control. It is the learning to new things to add to our life's basket. The basket that we have to take a look at once in a while to decide it's time to clean, and when cleaning happens we are freeing space to add new things to go well in our life right now in this stage.

    As to my basket it took me a while to see and another while to understand that I need to clean it. When I found that basket It was heavy and big like I was dragging a big tent behind me, and because of it's heavy wight sometimes I just sit by it and cry. After I was done with the crying that happened many many times, I decided to take a look at it from a curious mind, just like a child when exploring the kitchen.

    That's not mine, and that , and that, long pause and realized nothing in there belong to me. So I decided to place everything where it belong and to whom, learned about myself and what I like. Like I am a whole new person and found my way to improve myself to what I value and what really belong to me.

    SOO What's in your basket?

    انا لا استطيع ان اتخيل الحياة من دون تطوير ذاتي. التطوير الذاتي هو طبيعة بشرية منذ الازل. وهو متداخل في كل جانب من جوانب حياتنا. من الاساسيات مثلا كيف نتكلم , نمشي , ناكل ونتعامل الى مستوى التطوير الحياتي كمثال التعليم, اهداف وعلاقات. التطوير الذاتي هو الحاجة التي نسعى بها لتطوير الاشياء , الناس والحياة ليكونوا بافضل نسخ وكل شي نستطيع التحكم به. التطوير الذاتي هو تعلم كل شي جديد لاضافته لسلة الحياة. وهي السلة التي يجب علينا ان نلقي نضرة عليها بين الحين والاخر لنقرر انه وقت التنظيف. وعندما يحين وقت التنظيف فنحن نسمح بافراغ مساحة لاضافة اشياء جديدة تتماشى مع حياتنا الان وفي هذه المرحلة.
