Journal #13: My World Philosophy

Betterism:

 Defines who I am as a person because I want to be the best I can be at everything I do. I believe everyone has a ceiling of potential, but few of us ever get off the ground. There is a heavy influence from Christianity because I am Christian but all religions are accepted.

• Always try as hard as you can because that's your best and that is good enough.
• Strive to be better by defying odds and ignoring the pessimistic things in life.
• Regardless of your racial, religious or cultural background, you can be the best.
• Raise your expectations of those around you so they also have a chance to be the best they can be.
• Get everything you can out of a certain experience, good or bad and turn it all into good.
• If you believe in God, then strive to serve Him to the best of your ability.
• Seek the best you can be, and in that you will find pleasure.
• Test yourself constantly to reach the zenith of your success.
• Repetition can lead to perfection.                                                                                    

 If everyone was the best they could be then there would be no conflicts, no poverty, no crime, nothing but happiness and peace. Raising people's mentality is the quickest way to improve them as a person. When I imagine a better world, I imagine everyone being successful.
