I believe in self improvement and self awareness. I think it makes me a better person. And by being a better person I can lead a more fulfilled life. But there are other thoughts about how to live my life.
The late Japanese psychotherapist Shoma Morita's advice was to stop trying to fix yourself and start living instead: "Give up on yourself. Begin taking action now, while being neurotic or imperfect, or a procrastinator, or unhealthy, or lazy, or any other label by which you inaccurately describe yourself. Go ahead and be the best imperfect person you can be and get started on those things you want to accomplish before you die."
