LIKE EXERCISE, SELF-IMPROVEMENT IS AN ONGOING PROCESS!

Just like it is necessary to exercise or gym regularly in order to produce desired results, so it is with self improvement! Why should it be any different? If you want to make strides in your personal growth, and change in various ways…..develop new and effective skills, this takes work on your part….but the effort you apply WILL be worth it IF you persevere!

We were discussing the importance of our appearance in a meeting this morning, and reflecting on how important first appearances are. The main speaker mentioned the importance of three particular points of view, being:
