About this episode
Talk about self-improvement is all over social media, however, what does it really mean to improve? And, perhaps even deeper, why is it even important to us to improve in the first place? Sure, most people would agree that self-improvement is a good thing, but few actually work on it. Many of us spend our days in quiet desperation, no challenge and no improvement. Imagine the best possible person in the world. You can define them however you wish - strong, compassionate, hard-working - truly, whatever you would like to be. We call this an "ideal", as it is the ideal way a person could be.Listen in on today's episode as I discuss the idea of an ideal, why we need it, how to get there, and why you actually can't get there.
