Rebuild Yourself by Justice O. Malcolm Book Summary

Have you ever felt that life is moving very fast? But you are left behind somewhere in it? Every day the same rush, the same responsibilities, the same people but nothing for yourself. If yes, then now the time has come to start focusing on yourself. Because this is your real strength. Hello friends, today we will talk about the book Rebuild Yourself written by Justice Om Malcolm. When you focus on something, that very thing grows in your life.

If you are always engaged in making others happy, then you will lose yourself. But when you start focusing on yourself, your confidence, your happiness and your energy will start increasing. In today's world, people always pay attention to external things. Social media, opinions of others, likes, comments and trends.

But the truth is that those who make their inner world better, they shine in the outside world. Studies show that people who put themselves first have a much higher level of mental peace, self-satisfaction and success than others. Stop comparing yourself to others and become the best version of yourself.

Have you ever wondered how happy you were as a child? Because you didn't compare yourself to anyone. But as you grew up, society taught you that you have to be better than others. But the truth is that your real competition is not with anyone else but with yourself. If you try to make yourself a little better every day, your life can change completely in a year. Imagine if you become just 1% better every day, you can become 37 times better in 365 days.

This is the magic that comes from focusing on yourself. People often say that it is important to maintain relationships. But the most important relationship is with yourself. When you learn to be happy with yourself, the rest of the world will automatically seem fine. Spend time with yourself. Listen to your heart and learn to love yourself. If you don't understand yourself well, how will anyone else understand you? Identify your fears, weaknesses and strengths. Once you start understanding yourself, nothing can stop you. Nowadays, everything is made to distract you.

Mobile, TV, social media and useless gossip. But if you really want to change your life, then you have to put your focus in the right direction. Stop getting distracted and start focusing on your goals, future and dreams. The time you spend on useless things, spend it in improving your skills, learning something new or becoming mentally strong. How quickly this can change your life. In the hustle and bustle of life, people often forget what they really like.

What keeps their heart excited. Under the pressure of society, family, job and responsibilities, we start doing what is necessary. But what the heart desires is left behind. But the truth is that until you do not recognize your real passion, your life remains incomplete. That passion is your strength that keeps you excited every day and can get you out of any difficulty.

In childhood, every person had some things that gave him true happiness. Some used to paint, some used to write stories, some used to get lost in sports. Some felt a connection with music. But as we grow up, these things get lost somewhere. School, college, job and society try to make us walk on the same path. But only those who rediscover that fire inside them are able to do something different. Research shows that people who work with their passion are on average 40% happier and more successful. No great person became successful just because of hard work but because he loved his work. Hard work is important but when you do the work that gives you peace and happiness, then even hard work starts to seem fun. It is not difficult to recognize your passion.

Just focus on your life. What is the thing that does not make you tired? The thing that makes you feel most alive is your passion. Most people think that passion is just one thing. But the truth is that your passion can change with time. If you liked something 5 years ago, but now it does not give you that much happiness, then it does not mean that your passion is over. It means that you need to find new ways. The most successful people in the world always keep learning new things. They keep searching for their passion and never stop at one place.

Learning something new, going to new places and having different experiences – all this helps in finding your real passion. Many people recognize their passion, but due to fear, they shy away from adopting it. Will I be able to succeed in this? If people laugh at me, if I fail, then these fears stop a person. But those who rise above their fears are the ones who make history.

Imagine if Thomas Edison had stopped thinking that he had failed thousands of times, would the bulb have been invented today? If the Wright Brothers had been afraid of the dream of flying, would we have been able to travel in an airplane today? The only difference is that they knew their passion and kept working hard for it without stopping. When you work with your passion, work does not seem like a burden but like a game.

Research shows that people who follow their passion are happier, fall sick less often and live longer. This is not magic, but the reason for this is clear. When you do what you like, your energy is always high. Your mind thinks positively and you never feel tired. Every person wants to do something big in life. Wants to achieve something.

But very few people are able to reach their dreams. The biggest reason for this is the lack of self-awareness. Unless you understand yourself, you cannot take the right decisions. Self-awareness means knowing yourself. Understanding your emotions. Being able to see your fears, weaknesses and strengths. This is a power that takes you out of darkness and into the light. We often think that we know ourselves well. But it is not so. Society, upbringing and the outside world mold us into a framework.

From which it becomes difficult to get out. Many times we do what others like. But what do we want ourselves? We do not even think about it. Self-awareness means understanding your true form – without any mask, without any pretense. When you learn to recognize and control your emotions, you can take the right decisions at every turn of life.

The most successful people in the world are those who understand their emotions and use them in the right direction. Research shows that people who have self-awareness can handle their emotions better, reduce stress and keep their thinking positive. Often people spend their entire life in fear and doubts. If I fail, if people will make fun of me, if I am not able to do this – these fears and doubts prevent us from moving forward.

But those who know themselves know that this fear is not real. It is just a game of the mind. As you become self-aware, this fear starts to weaken and your confidence starts to grow. When you start to understand yourself, you also understand what you want in life and what you don't. Self-awareness saves you from getting entangled in useless things. You start to realize what makes you happy and what things keep you tied.

This understanding gives you the power to take the right decisions. The real fun of life comes only when you live with a purpose. A person without a goal is like a boat that is drifting in the sea without any direction. Goals are not just destinations, but they give direction to your life. When you set the right goals and work on them with full hard work, then every day has a meaning. Every morning starts with new energy. When you do not have any goal, you keep wandering here and there.

Every day is the same life, no purpose, no adventure. But when you set a clear goal, your mind and body start working in that direction. Psychological research shows that people who have clear goals are happier. Their confidence remains high and they are more successful in life. Many people set their goals by looking at others.

If someone becomes a doctor, then we also want to become a doctor. If someone is doing business, then we also have to do the same. But the real goal is the one that is close to your heart, which keeps the fire burning inside you. While setting your goals, ask yourself if this is really my dream or am I copying someone else. Goals should be clear. Don't just say that I have to be successful.

Instead, decide that in the next 6 months I will improve my conversation skills or in the next one year I will start my own business. Keep the goals big but divide them into small parts. This will keep you moving forward and your enthusiasm will remain. Connect your goals to your values. If your goal is connected to your heart, then you can fight every difficulty to achieve it.

Write down your goals. Science says that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them. Take one step forward every day. No big dream is fulfilled overnight. Move forward a little bit every day. This is the real secret of success. Difficulties will come but do not give up. Many times you will feel that you are deviating from your goal, nothing is going right. But this is the time when you have to be the strongest. Every successful person in the world has faced failure at some point of time.

But the only difference is that they did not give up. If you are true to your goal, then no difficulty can stop you. Whenever you feel that everything is over, remember that this is the turning point from where the biggest miracles begin. The level of your life is determined by the people you spend time with. The right people can take you to heights, whereas the wrong people can drain your energy.

To move ahead in life, it is important that you keep people around you who inspire you, understand you and help you become better. A study shows that you become like the five people with whom you spend the most time. If you have positive and ambitious people around you, you will also become like them. But if you live among people who always complain, blame others and do not want any change in life, then gradually your thinking will also become like that.

Think, if you constantly surround your mind with negativity, can you expect success in that environment? No. Therefore, you have to understand that your environment decides your future. If you want happiness, success and positivity to come in your life, then you have to learn to choose the right people.

These are the people who do not laugh at your dreams but help you fulfill them. Who point out your mistakes but do not break your confidence, who want to see you at heights without any jealousy or envy, who are themselves moving forward and inspire you too. Identify toxic relationships and get out of them. Many times we are associated with people who constantly pull us down. These relationships may look normal from the outside. But slowly they destroy our mental peace.

Some signs of toxic relationships are: always criticizing you, highlighting your shortcomings, spreading negativity in everything, breaking your confidence, being jealous of your success and always making you feel guilty, even if it is their fault.

Such relationships will not let you move forward. If you really want to improve your life, then you have to leave these toxic relationships. It can be difficult. But when you free yourself from them, you will get real peace. Life is not static. It is always changing. But when change comes, people often get scared, panic. They feel unstable and get stressed.

But the truth is that change is the biggest sign of growth. The sooner you understand this, the sooner you will be able to take your life to heights which you would not have even imagined. Stress is normal. But not letting it dominate your life is the real victory. There is no person in the world who has not faced challenges. The biggest leaders, businessmen, artists or players, all have faced difficulties at some time or the other. But they did not stop.

They strengthened their minds and prepared themselves in such a way that they do not give up in any situation. There are five powerful ways to reduce stress. One, change your thinking. The real cause of stress is not circumstances but our perspective. When you see things as an opportunity, your mind will remain calm. Two, control your breathing. When the stress increases, take a deep breath and exhale slowly. This method can calm your mind immediately. Three, keep physical activity.

Yoga, walking, gym or dance, any physical activity is very effective in reducing stress. Four, connect with the right people. Spend time with the right people. Get inspired by their stories. Five, celebrate small victories. Appreciate your small efforts. This will increase your confidence and reduce stress. Why stop being afraid of change? If you notice, everything in this world is a result of change. People who are afraid of change are left behind in life but those who embrace change reach new heights. Behind every success, there is some change or the other.

Imagine. If the world's most successful people were afraid of adopting change, would they be there today? If a businessman was afraid of adopting new technologies, his company could end. If a player did not change his technology, he would lag behind others. The power of creativity is an unseen power inside every human being.

Creativity is the energy that makes you stand out from the crowd. It gives a new dimension to your thinking and gives you the power to do what others think is impossible. But most people are unable to recognize this power because they live in fear of failure. They think what if I fail to do something new, but the real question is, if I do not even try, will I ever be able to succeed? Creativity is not limited to just painting or writing. It is useful in every field.

Whether you are doing business, doing a job, studying or doing any other work. If you adopt new thinking, new ideas and new methods, then you can take yourself to the heights of success. Fear is the biggest enemy of creativity. Unless you remove the fear of failure from within you, you will not be able to think of anything new. Imagine if Thomas Edison had thought that if I fail to make a bulb, people will call me crazy, then would we be able to see cities lit up with light today? If Steve Jobs had worked on old methods out of fear of new innovations, would we have smartphones in our hands today? Creativity comes to those who consider failure as an opportunity to learn. Every failure takes you one step forward.

If you are ready to learn from it. There are two types of people in this world. One who complains about everything and the other who feels grateful even for small things. Those who feel grateful are not only happy but also more successful. Because for the person who makes a habit of seeing goodness in everything, nothing is impossible in life. Imagine if you feel every morning that you are alive, healthy, and you have a new day to do something big, then won't your energy increase manifold? But most people think instead.

The same routine again, the same difficulties again. As long as your thinking remains negative, peace and success cannot come in life. There are benefits of feeling gratitude. Stress and anxiety are reduced. When you focus on the things you have, your energy remains positive. Relationships improve. When you recognize the goodness of others and express gratitude towards them, your relationships become stronger. Chances of success increase. People who find positivity in every situation.

They are not afraid of problems and are ready to embrace new opportunities. Self-confidence increases. When you realize your achievements and the small and big pleasures of life, you start believing in your ability. Mental and physical health improves. Science also says that the mind of people who express gratitude remains calm, which has a positive effect on their body. How to make a habit of expressing gratitude? Start the morning with gratitude. As soon as you wake up every day, remember three things for which you are grateful.

This will keep your energy positive all day. Feel the little things. A smile, someone's company, fresh air, sunlight, see the beauty in these little things and appreciate them. Write a gratitude letter. Once a week say thank you to someone who has made a difference in your life, be it a friend, a family member or a teacher. Complain less.

Whenever you start complaining, think if you can see something positive in it. Nowadays people are either stuck in the mistakes of their past or are immersed in the worries of the future. But those who learn to live in the present experience peace and clarity. This is called mindfulness, that is, being completely present in this moment. It is easy to dream. But turning them into reality is possible only for those people who take small steps every day.

Every successful person in the world has not only dreamed big but also worked on them continuously. Most people fail not because they lack talent or ability, but because they do not start or stop after a few days of starting. The real magic happens when you move forward a little bit every day, without stopping, without getting tired. People often wonder how such a big dream will be fulfilled. But remember, no tall building is built in a day. It is built by adding one brick at a time.

If you want to write a book, then write one page every day. If you want to get fit, start with a 10-minute workout every day. If you want to learn a new skill, give it only 30 minutes every day. Try to improve by 1% every day. If you improve by just 1% every day, you will become 37 times better in a year. Small efforts together make big success. No successful person achieves big heights in a day. Five most effective ways to maintain consistency.

One, set small goals. Big goals can seem intimidating. So break them into smaller parts. Two, fix a time. Choose a fixed time for whatever habit you want to inculcate and follow it. Three, track progress. When you see your progress, you get inspired to move further. Four, remember your reason. Whenever you feel that you should stop, remember the reason that forced you to start. Five, celebrate small victories. Whenever you accomplish a small goal.

Reward yourself. This will motivate your mind to work harder. Always remember that it is easy to make excuses. But excuses do not lead to success. If you think that you do not have time, then remember that even the most successful people in the world have only 24 hours in a day. The only difference is that they use time properly. If you think that the right time has not come yet, then this thinking is completely wrong. The right time never comes by itself. You have to make it right.

If you think that more preparation is required first, then remember that the real learning comes from starting the work. Those who try to make everything perfect in advance are never able to start. Everyone in this world will tell you what success is. Someone will say that earning more money is success. Someone will say that achieving a high position is success. Then someone will say that getting respect in the society is success.

But real success is that which is according to your own definition. When you live on your own terms, when you do what your heart says, then you are living a true and authentic life. Many people spend their entire life trying to please others. They do what society, family or friends expect from them, but do not listen to their heart. Such people may look successful from outside but feel empty and incomplete from inside. A real life is one in which you do not lose yourself but find yourself. If you want peace, satisfaction and true happiness in your life, then first understand what success means. Success is not how much you earn. Rather it is how happy you are.

Success is not what people think about you. Rather it is what you think about yourself. Success is not how big a position you hold. Rather it is how much peace your heart feels. So do not follow someone else's definition. If your happiness lies in living in a small village and doing farming, then that is your success. If your happiness lies in writing a book, then that is your success. If your happiness lies in spending more time with your family, then that is your success.

No power in the world can shake a person who learns to stand up for himself. But strength is not just physical. Real strength is mental. It is self-confidence. The belief that what you are doing is right. Find your own voice. Separate yourself from the opinions and expectations of others and think about what you really want. Rise above fear. People who are unable to live their real life are often living in some fear or the other. Real strength is that you defeat your fear and move forward.

Accept yourself. Accept yourself as you are. Instead of hiding your flaws, make them your strength. Learn to take decisions. The most important thing in life is that you take your own decisions. If you don't, someone else will make the decisions for you. Inspire others. Be an example with your life. When you live your life according to your own will, with your true identity, you not only empower yourself but also inspire others. There is no need to give lectures to the world.

Your life itself is the biggest message. When people see how you changed yourself, how you defeated your fears, how you realized your dreams, they too get inspired. Inspire with your work. Nothing happens just by talking. Real inspiration comes when people see your work. Support others. When you recognize your strengths, help others to recognize their strengths too. Stay away from negativity. Keep distance from those who try to pull you down. Stay only with those people who inspire you to move forward.

Live with honesty. No one can be happy by lying to oneself and living a pretentious life. When you live honestly, peace and satisfaction will come automatically. Remember, your life is in your hands. People will tell you what is right, what is wrong. But the real right is only yours. If you live your life with complete honesty, full passion and your true identity, then you will get success, happiness and satisfaction automatically.
