We all want to be our best, but many people wonder if it's actually possible to become a better person once you're an adult. The answer is a resounding yes. There are always ways to improve yourself. This answer leads to more questions, however. What is the best way to become a better person? What is the easiest approach? And what are the most important aspects of self to work on? Taking into account your own wellbeing as well as the best interests of others, here are some of the most important ways to become a better person.

Motivation is what drives us to make things happen – but staying motivated isn’t always easy. Get some tips on how to become (and stay!) motivated and suggestions for what to do if you just can’t get into gear. Motivating yourself is one of the main things that sets high achievers apart, and it’s hard. How do you keep pushing onward when your heart isn’t in it? Set goals that are intrinsically rewarding and make them very specific. If a task isn’t satisfying, focus on aspects of it that are or combine it with pleasant activities. Reward yourself in the right way for getting things done. To avoid slumps, break objectives into subgoals; look at how much you’ve accomplished until you’re halfway there; and then count down what you have left to do. And use social influence: Let high performers inspire you, boost your get-up-and-go by giving advice, and keep the people you want to succeed for front of mind

In all things, it's harder to build than to destroy. Building a good reputation requires effort, patience, and time. Destroying a good reputation only requires a single moment's misstep. The secret to building a good reputation? Become a person who deserves one. Take consistent action that embodies the characteristics you want others to associate with you. Don't just mouth the platitudes of hard work, attention to detail, loyalty, and drive—live them. In fact, don't mouth them at all. Let others discover them in you. A reputation is a fragile thing. It requires constant feeding. Consistency is crucial. If you live up to your reputation 99 percent of the time but fail to do so 1 percent of the time, you risk disproportionate damage if the person you let down is highly influential in your network. A good reputation shouldn't be an end in itself but rather a natural outgrowth of your striving to be the person you most want to be. The Benefits of a Good Reputation You can't stop others from maligning you, but a good reputation can come to your rescue when people rise to your defense without your even knowing it. We are, in fact, all caretakers of one another's reputations. In a society in which simply being accused is enough to render a conviction in the court of public opinion, we would all do well to presume not only innocence but goodness until facts prove otherwise. We all need to be kinder and gentler with one another. A good reputation provides you a target at which to keep aiming. Sometimes you may not feel like you deserve your reputation, that's it's better than you are. Rather than lament your weaknesses, let your good reputation serve as motivation for you to try to improve yourself. A good reputation represents a great marketing strategy. When I find a service provider of any kind whose performance outshines their competition, they become like gold to me. I use them repeatedly, recommend them enthusiastically to others, and don't begrudge paying them what they're worth. A good reputation inspires others. We all need positive role models, even the best and brightest among us.

Questions have power – great power, creative power. And by addressing deep questions To yourself, you will get profound answers From yourself. In the flurries of small talk and day-to-day happenings, sometimes we don't take the opportunity to dig deep and really ask people (ourselves included) deeper, more thought-provoking questions. But it's often those deeper questions that help us really get to know someone and learn more about the people in our lives. Plus, they can lead to some pretty interesting conversations. Purpose isn’t just about work, either. It can connect to our families, our friendships, our hobbies – our whole lives. In many ways, that’s what makes it such a useful tool. Because Purpose is not the destination, but rather, the fuel that gets us wherever we want to go, it grows as we grow, deepening and evolving over time. That’s why it’s useful to reflect on it every so often, to see where our path might have shifted… or if we’ve shifted and lost sight of our path. This massive list of questions is one way to reflect on Purpose, and provide insights on what fuels you.
