HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

(MAKE A DECISION, MAKE A DIFFERENCE, THINK OF OTHERS)

A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

BY TONY MANDERS

We all have aspects of our lives that are not exactly as we want them to be. Whether it’s personal aspects (our relationships, our looks) or financial ones (our job, our home) or whether it’s environmental ones (our location or our desire to be kinder to the planet).

Many of the things that you want to improve, can be improved by you. But it can be difficult to know where to start or what to do, or how.

The process on this website provides you with a structured way to identify what you want to change and how to go about changing it. Key to this is understanding that it is you, yourself, who can make the changes to improve your own life.

So, let's get started!

Introduction

So, before you even start to read any more, you need to ask yourself the single question:

“AM I PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION TO MAKE MY LIFE BETTER?"

If the answer is “No”, then I wish you well, but don’t bother reading on.

If the answer is “Yes”, then please read on, there are good things here for you.

Overview

This process will not change your life. Let me say that, up front. This guide will give you the methods to help you change your life, BUT, at the end of the day, only YOU can make changes to your life to improve it.

What is provided on this guide is a series of structures and checklists that you can easily follow and complete. The actions that are identified as an output of you following these guides are for YOU to take.

The three components of this guidance are based on lessons learnt from life:

“There is nothing worse in life than sitting back and letting it happen. We make life. Life does not make us.” (Ali McGraw) In other words decide to do something to improve your life -
“Make A Decision” (MAD). We’ll talk about what that means in Part 1.
“Grant me the serenity to accept those things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference” (Serenity Prayer) Having decided to do something, ensure that what you do, does “Make A Difference” (MAD). We’ll talk about that in Part 2.
“Do unto others as you would be done by” (The Bible: Luke 6:31). Whatever actions you choose to take, ensure that you consider the impact it has on other people and “Think Of Others” (TOO). More on that in Part 3.

The last three parts of this process provide guidance on making a detailed plan (Part 4), some flow diagrams and templates (Part 5) and some worked examples (Part 6).

A printable pamphlet with all this information is at Part 7 (here)

Please remember that all of these are simple steps - you will still have to do some serious thinking about your life and what you want, but following the process is not difficult.

About the author - Tony Manders

Lessons learnt from all periods of his life resulted in him adopting the three tenets at the core of this guidance (The worst thing in life….., Grant me the serenity…., and Do unto others…) as a way to live his life. After retiring, Tony is now an Actor, Director and Producer within the Indie Film industry.

The desire to write this guide came from observing how often individuals “put up” with aspects of their lives that are not good, merely because they don’t know how to go about improving them. This guidance is for them.
