Abaya, point well taken. Sounds like you and I may be in similar places in regards to our desire (and progress) for self-improvement.
I do agree that we are all works-in-progress if, indeed, we each do aspire to improve some part of our personality or being. Part of it is having a goal.. but if you've never been there, how do you know exactly what your goal(s) is (are)?
Small steps to self-improvement or change can make a huge difference. I've found the biggest part of this is just having complete (as much as is possible) honesty about where you are mentally. That is, having at least a basic understanding and appreciation for how you honestly feel and what you'd like to change. Just a wishful 'if only I could..' isn't going to cut it. I believe you need to pinpont whatever small details you'd like to change and, again, change them. On the spot.
Looking at overwhelming, life-changing events or goals shows that this won't work. But chipping away or isolating goals which are attainable can set you on the right path. By finding one (or more) ways to change - and having personal success therein - can be the inpetus needed for greater change.
