Are you actively working on becoming a better person? What are you trying to change or improve? Any successes out there?


I'll start (but then I have to run some errands and will be back later)

I honestly don't have enough self awareness to begin self improvement - so I think that's where I am now...becoming more self aware. Ultimately I think it will make me a better personflowerforyou


I'm always trying to make myself better. Going to college, learning new technology at work (being more productive), whatever it takes.

I try and see things through others eyes. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't, but I try.

Plenty of successes.happy


are you willing to share a success?


I was first in family to go to college. First to get a college degree.

..I start Military Fitness Bootcamp next week
and I can't wait!
Bring it on bigsmile

Congrats, sounds interesting..
is that a required thing where you live?


No, it's not exactly required as such, I'm doing it to get back into shape before playing sports again. People of all shapes and sizes do it, it's for everyone. I'm really looking forward to it, there's been some great reviews about it. 4 Army guys are running the sessions so id say it will be good happy

I am always working on becoming a better person. Worrking out, trying a new way of eating, going back to schoolop, ening myself up to explore things like Tarrot cards, Wicca, and finding myself.

Is there anything better than the best,sweetest?:wink:

laugh laugh laugh


IDK prashant, is there? When do we say we no longer need to become a better person? I feel like I am always "becoming"

maybe that in itself is definitional - always improving my awareness - trying to be more beautiful on the inside while focusing outward more onto others...

:thumbsup:

That's true,sweetest.

I was just joking.


yes I know, but it is still a good question. I like the concept of infinity, lack of closure and I look for those things to learn from. Humans seem to need closure but I think we can learn from infinite concepts .333333333333flowerforyou :wink:

so the best is an idea not a tangible reality - in striving to become the best we can be we simply become better. but now that is telling me something good!flowerforyou


You are right.

For betterment usually people competes with each other.It may lead to rivalry too.I prefer competing with myself & try to do better today than I did yesterday.

Some people are very much ambitious & are always waiting for opportunity for doing something they consider extra ordinary.In my opinion it is purely wastage of time.I think they avoid hard as well as smart working while doing so,they also consider it inferior to work like others.

I believe in principal that"Doing your regular work in better manner is the best way to improve"

Believe me so called extra ordinary works are done easily & seems ordinary this way.:smile:

This is a great question!

I have had much success in self awareness. It has made me see my faults as well as strengths.

It has cause me to work on my health by becoming more knowledgable about foods and exercise.

It has made me aware of my thought process and perspectives.

It has caused me to look at the big picture towards religion and spirituality.

I believe these are the most important points in my life. So over all I have become a better person and am always open to evolving even more.

Great question...thanks for asking!!

Light!

and love:heart:


peace - thanks for the contribution

I think in terms of self awareness what I'm thinking is in terms of personality awareness - emotional awareness - awareness of feelings - am I happy? what makes me happy?

as I mentioned elsewhere in here I have been pretty self aware as far a physical & intellectual self

Working on self esteem is a hard one and most of us are working on it. Although from what I have seen here on Mingles; you are one incredible lady that should feel damn good about yourself. flowerforyou
