Do you think that improving our lives begins by improving ourselves?

I think it is true. Our lives will only change when we change. If only we improve ourselves then only our lives can improve. What about u?

I believe so! Why we make our own life, we survive on our own, and we feed ourselves. We improve our life to make life better and be a better person. Have a nice day!

That is very much true. We can't change the situation of our life if we refused to improve our selves. Out life is wasted if we keep on hoping that something will happen in our life. Nothing good will happen if we will not find ways to change our life. Let's begin by setting our goals. We need determination, courage and iron will to succed in our endeavors. Work hard is another key to reach our goals in life. If we can stimulate our mind in heading to the positive way of life. We will gradually make a big change in the way we handle things in our life. And that big change will come in handy in the future.

Yes, indeed. If we want to improve our way of living, we need to start the improvement within ourselves. It's like wasting time wanting and hoping to change the entire world around you only at the end, it turned out that it's you yourself who needs to be changed. Happy posting!

I do agree with what you are saying. We need to look inside ourselves and then we can figure things out better. Sometimes we have struggles and challenges in life but we have to gain perspective. We need to improve ourselves first and be happy with ourselves before we can fully enjoy anything else.

I don't think that it starts with improving ourselves, per say. I think the first step is making the choice to change our lives for the better. Nothing in this life will just fall into your lap (unless you are lucky). If you want to be happy, then you have to make yourself happy. If you want to be successful, then you have to go out there and earn it. If you want love, then you have to go out there and find it. It does in a way begin with improving ourselves, however. Quite frankly, I consider life to include a lot of perception. If your life stinks, then it's going to stink. There are external factors at work too, but that is the beauty of our ability to make choices. Our lives won't change until we choose to make changes, whether it be within ourselves or within our environment. Of course, this isn't one of those things that is that easily done. I think that's the hurdle that most people run into. It takes time and patience.
