“No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you’ve come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.” - Madonna. When you read this quote, you think of one word, “Self-improvement.” Just with this one topic, you may ponder and ask yourself, “Who needs Self-improvement?” ,“ When do we need to start changing and How do we begin?”,” What will we get from it?” , and the most important question of all, “Why do we need self-improvement?” Self improvement comes from experiences. Experiences that were either blessings, mistakes, regrets, and overall a lesson each time. Self-improvement is a wake up call but will we ever take the chance to self-improve or just let it pass it by?
So who exactly needs self-improvement? Is it for a specific type of person? Is it for a group of people? Like adults? Or teens? Or even Children?. Is it for the rich or the poor? Self-improvement is needed in everyone. It does not matter who you are, or what you look like, or the background you come from. We all need Self- improvement.To all of us, Self improvement is needed in our daily lives just like we need food and water. It feeds us with understanding, knowledge, character, and wisdom. Coming from experience, I never thought I needed Self-improvement.I thought I was fine and did not need any adjustment in myself. I thought I was a good person with very good qualities, but I was wrong. You can say that one day, I made a tremendous mistake that lead to a regret but it was the wake-up call for me. Long story short, I thought that I did not need to eat and I use to starve myself but because I did that, I had a major blackout which put me in the hospital and almost died. How I said before, it comes from experience that left behind would not be here today. Like a sermon that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “ I want you to be the first in love, I want you to be the first in moral excellence, I want you to be the first in generosity…” What this quote meant to me meant a lot in self-improvement. If you want to change be the first one to change. Don’t wait for someone else but take the initiative, take the action! But here’s the catch! Don’t wait to try to self-improve when you think you’re ready because if you wait to when you think you’re ready, you will never self-improve. This kind of ties up to “When do we need to self-improve?” and “How do we self-improve?” Overall, Self-improving is key in someone’s life. Without it, we wouldn’t be where we were in the past, who we are in the present and who will be become in the future. It is needed in our lives, no doubt about it.
