Sometimes people question whether self improvement is really possible. Philosophically, it is a valid question, since the entire concept of self is a slippery one to begin with. But what most people are wondering about is not philosophy, but whether change is possible. It is, and there is a simple way to prove it to yourself.

Choose to do anything differently this week. Be nicer to your fellow employees, start exercising, play with the kids more often, or do whatever you think is an improvement. At the end of the week see that for at least that week you changed something about yourself or the way you do things. That right there is the proof if you clearly recognize that you can do that again. People fail and think that means change isn’t possible, but failure is temporary if you just start again. No number of failures can stop you from making the choice to start again.
