Continuous Improvement - Becoming a Better and Better YOU

Welcome!  I'm Arline Oliphint, and "continuous improvement is my way of life".  Maybe you would like that to be your motto, too. 

We always have areas where we're not as strong as we would like to be, such as relationships.  Most of us could stand to improve our communication skills, for example, such as learning to listen better.  That is often a big part of improving our relationships with friends and family.

Self improvement, or personal development, is about becoming an increasingly better version of yourself.  Sometimes this can involve making radical changes;

other times the improvements are more gradual, and less obvious to others.  But big or small, these changes take place deep inside of you.  They are life-changing!  YOU will know you're becoming a better person.  You'll experience more self-confidence as you move forward in this journey.  You'll no doubt be happier, more relaxed, more sure of yourself.  Before long, others can't help noticing you are changing for the better.

You Can Do This!

Don't be discouraged if you've tried self improvement in the past, and didn't follow through.  Or maybe you've been procrastinating about even getting started in the first place.  Maybe you want to change so many areas of your life that you don't really know where to start.... so you haven't started doing anything.  (Don't feel bad... I've been there, too!)

Well, getting started is obviously the first step.  But that's the hardest step to take, isn't it?  I want to encourage you, that yes, you can do this!  You can learn new success habits.  You can get rid of bad habits.  You can set goals and achieve them.  You can be a better parent, friend, lover, teacher, employee, boss.... whatever you need to be better at doing!  I hope you will find helpful advice as well as inspiration in this website. 

Once you have decided where to start, then just get started.  After that, just stick to your plan and keep making steady progress.  Now, that doesn't sound too hard, does it?  Remember the tortoise and the hare.  If you just keep moving in the right direction, you'll reach the goal. 

And it gets easier as you go along!  There's a quote pinned to my bulletin board that has helped me over the past eight or ten years.  I don't know who said it, but it goes like this:

Isn't that awesome?

Design your own step-by-step plan.

This website is here for two main purposes.  First, I want to inspire and motivate you to take action toward fulfilling your dreams.  You can be a better you!

Secondly, this website will help you in designing your very own personal development plan. 

Now, why didn't I just hand you a ready-made plan?  Because, only YOU can know what areas of your life you want to improve.  Only You can determine what skills you need to be better at doing, and decide which area you want to start improving first.  Everyone is different.  There is no "one-size-fits-all" personal development plan.  What works best for someone else might not be the best method for you. 

So, you will need to determine your own self improvement goals, and decide how you will reach them.  When you have made your own, custom-designed plan JUST FOR YOU, then it will be much easier for you to follow through in reaching your goals.  The resources on this site can guide you in developing and implementing your self improvement plan.
