Employment Research Institute's CEO A. Harrison Barnes in a webinar discussed the importance of self-improvement and how it goes a long way to determine the level of success in your life and career.

Harrison believes that people who focus on improving their lives are invariably those who experience the most change and live the best lives. First and foremost, you need to fight depression in your life. Try to be around inspiring people, keep active, have a healthy diet, and dwell on positive thoughts and accomplishments. Secondly, it is absolutely necessary to fight being overweight and unhealthy. You need to develop a good dietary plan and exercise regularly which will ultimately lead to a longer and a stress-free life. The next important thing that you must focus on is the activities you do. Make sure to have hobbies and interests that allow a diversion from your work and are fun to do. Harrison also believes that you need to spend time with accomplished and positive minded people. In this way, you will imitate them and eventually grow like them. Lastly, and most importantly, you need to feel good about your self. The higher the level of your self-esteem, the more you can accomplish and the more strength you will have to finish projects you start.

Self-improvement is all about improving your mood, level of happiness, health, the type of people you connect with, the activities you involve in, and your level of self-esteem. Life is filled with difficulties but you cannot be the average person who is held back by them. Fight the tide and make the most of your life.
