Managing and
improving the self, to be effective, efficient, positive and constructive in everything we
do and we engage in. Considering, planning and organizing ahead, from the ground up and
from the inside out. Establishing and maintaining the necessary internal mental
conditions, before engaging and dealing with external conditions, with others and the
world around us. Considering, planning and organizing ahead, clearly, in detail and depth
whatever we do and we engage in. Dealing with conditions, demands and challenges, problems
and difficulties, change and changing conditions, plans, goals and objectives, jobs and
tasks, in business, government, public administration, public service, in public or
personal life. Establishing mental order and stability, clarity of mind and understanding,
a sense of certainty, security and confidence about issues and conditions, plans, goals
and objectives, jobs and tasks, details, specifics, requirements and steps, before acting.
Establishing
the necessary internal mental conditions. Developing, exercising and practicing the
necessary knowledge, understanding and mental faculties. Developing one's natural mental
powers and abilities, translating them into the necessary mental skills and practices, and
engaging in the required mental work and effort. Engaging in a process of continuous,
life-long conceptual and mental self-development and growth. Dealing with, responding and
adjusting to change, changing conditions, demands and challenges, in real time, when they
take place and when they are experienced. Dealing with them when only a minimum in mental
work, effort and adjustment are required, and before they develop into larger problems and
difficulties, which we can no longer deal with alone. Constantly, in light of change and
changing conditions, reconsidering, updating, correcting, expanding and improving the
knowledge, understanding and mental faculties, mental powers and abilities, mental skills
and practices we develop, on which we rely, how we develop and use them. The choices and
decisions we make, and how we make them, the aims, goals and objectives we pursue, and how
we define them, the mental behaviour and actions, mental work and effort in which we
engage, and how we consider, plan, organize and manage them.
