Sense of self
You have to know who you are and what you want.
Self-improvement begins with a keen awareness of who you are and what are your values, beliefs and the larger purpose you wish to pursue.
Sense of curiosity
Curiosity creates a longing to know more, do more and be more.
To have a successful life, you have to cultivate your sense of wonder and be curious about what the future might hold. Curiosity helps you see any situation as an opportunity for your advancement and learning.

Where there's a will there's a way.
Even when you don't like the things you're doing, seeing the benefit of following through on them makes it easier to take action for your desired results.

Urgency is all about getting results quickly and efficiently, but it does not eliminate assessment.

It provides you with the patience, awareness and fortitude to continue moving forward, even if that means completely changing course.
Sense of connectedness
Taking the path of personal development means you'll be able to see which relationships and partnerships bring value and are worth investing in and which you need to cut loose.

Keep yourself accountable
Making a commitment to yourself helps keep you accountable.
Write your goals down, keep a to-do list with you, and create reminders on your phone and on your calendar.
Make yourself accountable to others
- Tell everyone what you plan to do and talk about your goals. Tell friends, employees, and employers your intentions and you won’t want to let them down.
- Start documenting and sharing your journey. A blog or vlog where you share the projects you’re working on and your progress will encourage you to get things done.

Less aggressive tools such as Facebook Newsfeed Eradicator and Distraction Free Youtube will allow you to have access to Facebook and Youtube but block the distracting parts of these websites (such as the newsfeed).
