One Million Things You Don’t Need in Your Life and How to Easily Remove Them. Personal Diaries. Step Three
Do not try to change the world – it’s too big to change – instead, change yourself and become happy.
If you think you are the one who doesn’t need to be changed, start keeping a personal diary… yeah, you heard me right… a personal diary. Write there every day; write down all your thoughts and read your notes once a month. I bet every time you read them you’ll think, “Where the hell did I get those stupid ideas?”
Ok, some ideas might be brilliant and some… well… your diary will show you the things which need to be improved. Trust me, it works. I have done it and, boy, I am so happy this idea had ever popped into my head!
I had been keeping the most stupid diary in the world for years before I started reading it. Ha-ha. One day, I just opened my diary and read everything, from the first page to the very last one and it seemed to me there was another silly person suffering from her own stupidity. This person was absolutely blind and couldn’t recognise right from wrong, she didn’t know how to behave in different situations! I felt frustrated reading my own diary. But at the same time, it was good to learn something about myself. Everything became clear. Suddenly, I knew what to improve.
Basically, your diary will become your magnifying glass showing the things you do not need in your life. From the first sight it looks easy, but it is quite difficult to decide what is to be removed. My advice is as follows: while reading your diary, pretend it belongs to someone else; pretend you help someone improving their life, pretend you are a life coach
and help yourself to find a way to a better life.
This is your third step on the way to happiness, prosperity and anything you want. And remember, do not try to change the world – it’s too big to change – instead, change yourself.
To be continued…

Point well taken. I have kept a personal diary or journal for longer than I can remember and there are times I’ve looked back and thought, “Who wrote that ?” Of course I knew it was me but this has helped me to see areas for my own improvement. Keep writing.
