Do you believe that you can be better than what you are now?

If I am going to compare myself to the previous version of me, I can say that I am better already. I become stronger, more focused, and more disciplined. However, I cannot say that I am perfect. I still have flaws and I think I won't really be perfect. It is something that in my humble opinion impossible for a human like us to attain.
I do think that I can still get better. Learning does not stop in a certain age; it is a continuous process. My dream of travelling places leads to an interest in writing/blogging. And my interest in writing/blogging has made me keep on reading a lot. The more I read, the better I know. At present, I am happy that I can see myself progressing in blogging. I have been reading things on how a person can earn also from it that gives me more motivation to stick to my blog.
I might be a bit slow compared to others but I am already happy with the direction I am taking because of my worthwhile hobbies. I know that in the long run, I will benefit from what I have been doing . So, if someone would ask me if I can still be better, my answer would be a crystal clear "yes!"
How are you? Do you share the same belief with me?

I can get better, and I won't stop improving until I achieve god-like powers and am able to alter reality and the very fabric of the universe! AHAHAHA!!!
Or else where would the fun be otherwise? :P

At least I plan to use my god-like powers to make this world a better place. :P

@wiLLmaH I suddenly remember what I always see after I read a blog. It has the message "sharing is caring. "

I do believe I can be better, IF I work towards that. It takes a lot of learning, patience and persistence but definitely not something that's impossible to do.

@cahaya It is true! My friend always tells me that what I want to do must be something very difficult to do but not impossible. We should just have to ask for it in prayer and believe it.

@annierose That's right. It doesn't have to be a drastic change, too.

@marie42 Exactly. It is not the end of the world if ever we committed some mistakes in the past, we can always move on and be better than what we were before.

I don't think there's a person on earth who couldn't be "better." But I have known people who are constantly reading self improvement books and such, and I think it should come more naturally as you grow in life. I believe reading a lot is one of the best things you can do. It's going to teach you a lot! Of course so is doing. It's great that you're working on your blogging!

Every day is a learning experience. There is so much out there for us to learn, to know, to grow as a person. I agree, learning does not stop at a certain age, but you keep learning until that moment when your life ceases and eternity begins. Then I believe we will still be learning, just on the eternal level.
