I came across this quote in a book I was reading, and it really spoke to me. I am a lifelong learner and my mission in life is to keep on improving everyday. I like to say that if I improve a little every day, I'm going in the right direction. It doesn't matter how small the improvement is, it doesn't matter what I improve at, as long as there's a little improvement every day, I'm happy.
I know I'm not perfect, and I don't need to be perfect, but I love who I am. Now, that doesn't mean that I can't change; I don't quite believe statements like, "This is who I am, I can't change, so take it or leave it." That's a complete cop-out statement, if you ask me, and many people use it as an excuse to misbehave.
There are many different things you can change about yourself; no one is asking you to change your personality, and in fact, you totally shouldn't change that about yourself, but attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, abilities, etc... can be changed, and should be improved upon.
The world keeps moving forward, and if you stay stagnant, you are effectively moving backward because everything and everyone is going to leave you behind.
So anyway, changing myself, learning new things. There are so many things I would like to learn and improve on; I want to learn to play an instrument, I want to learn to read and write Chinese, I want to exercise more and eat right, I want to write a novel, I want to spend more time doing crafts, and the list goes on.
I believe in the power of the Universe, and I believe that affirmations are like prayers to the Universe, positive energy sent out and gaining power to manifest into truth for you. My affirmation: I learn something new every day and I improve a little bit every day because I believe this, and I made it my mission in my life to do so.
