Wes’s Life

I looked back at some of my old posts today, and I mean my first and second posts and saw a much younger self writ­ing those. And most people can under­stand my feel­ings when they pick up a note­book from col­lege or high school and wonder about the person who orig­i­nally wrote those. Often times, that person was imma­ture, less devel­oped and gen­er­ally not as edu­cated as the person read­ing it.

Nat­u­rally, we all develop and improve slowly – inten­tion­ally or not. How­ever, we want to improve in leaps and bounds. We feel that it’s the only notice­able way, that any­thing else is a waste of time or no real improve­ment at all. Yet, we rarely improve this way; instead we do much better when we slowly improve our­selves.

Pick­ing some­thing on a weekly basis to improve upon would prob­a­bly be a good idea. Attempt to use more varied vocab­u­lary or do less damage to the gram­mar side of your writ­ings. Or, you could forget about wordy goals and more about worldly goals. Smile more, take things as they come, wake up with a smile. I have been doing this, with­out think­ing about it for a while now. Small improve­ments now, lead to a much better person in the future.
