\"improve\"<\/a>September is self-improvement month. As a recent graduate, it seems odd not to be returning to college, ready to embrace new courses and learning opportunities. However, learning and self-improvement don\u2019t have to end when we leave academia. We all have the opportunity to improve, step out of our comfort zones and try something new in our daily lives.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re learning a new language or how to golf, self-improvement usually requires something none of us have enough of – time. We give so much of our time away to friends, family members and our professions that we often forget to budget time for ourselves. We can’t let the hustle and bustle of everyday life hold us back because the timing to pick up something new will never be just right.<\/p>\n

In light of self-improvement month, ask yourself where can you improve – intellectually, physically and emotionally? And what steps are you taking to get there? Are there things you\u2019d like to change? New ways in which you wish to grow? A hobby you\u2019ve been wanting to try?<\/p>\n

Make a plan and commit to YOURSELF. This month, I\u2019m focusing on a few new self-improvement “projects\u201d. I\u2019ve joined a local oratory club, I’ve started mentoring a youth robotics team and I\u2019m trying to start working through the long reading list I\u2019ve developed the past year or two. Self-improvement is empowering, exciting and more often than not – fun! Need a little extra motivation?<\/p>\n

\u201cFormal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.\u201d ~ Jim Rohn<\/p>\n

\u201cMake the most of yourself….for that is all there is of you.\u201d ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you’ve come from, you can always change, and become a better version of yourself.\u201d ~ Madonna<\/p>\n

\u201cI always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that\u2019s how you grow. When there\u2019s that moment of \u2018Wow, I\u2019m not really sure I can do this\u2019 and you push through those moments, that\u2019s when you have a breakthrough.\u201d ~ Marissa Mayer<\/p>\n
