I get my back up when people start talking about what they “should” do or what they “ought” to do. You’d think that given my training and background that I’d be into self improvement as a concept but I eye it with distrust. I think it’s because self improvement starts with the assumption that you need to be improved upon and it seems like so many of us get stuck in that part of the message. I’m not about self improvement; I’m about self growth.
I like to assume that we are exactly where we are meant to be at exactly this moment and that we can grow. Growth feels like a kinder way
