Getting Better
Self evaluation is a critical part of growing and developing. Taking frequent progress checks in your personal life is critical.
Am I getting better at the various tasks I am involved in? (Work, life, school)
If the answer is no, finding the reason for the no, is imperative.
Not getting better at something in life has both a reason and consequences. Find the reason first and evaluate the task.
You may not getting better because you're disinterested. Or you haven't had proper training. Or you're overspent in other areas. Or you're simply not trying. You may not value the task.
If you're not getting better, an action plan must be put into place. In some cases extricate yourself from the task. In other cases dig in harder. In some cases get help.
All of this to say, don't be satisfied with anything other than improvement.
We should constantly be improving in all the areas of life.
Excellent post. Totally agree.. I have witnessed people oozing with potential, talent, ability; never get better. Then I have seen people with less potential, talent, ability become good at something!! All because they worked hard and practiced and pushed and never gave up..
