These days my list of things I’m working towards is ever-evolving. I know off the top of my head what that list is, and I can’t really foresee a time when I will not have set improvement goals like this. Once you get a real taste of improvement it becomes addictive – you begin to enjoy the challenge and the rewards of constant refinement.However, should you feel somewhat lost of confused about what you want to work out here are some of my favourite principles and habits to work towards in work, relationships, and in your attitude towards yourself. Choosing any one, or multiple, of these points and working to maximise them is bound to have a positive effect on your life. Consider this post positive inspiration for improvement ;)

By “works” all I mean is that the organism continues to survive, and perhaps gains a survival-based rewards such as food.
