Self-improvement is a lie. You cannot improve who you are; you already are who you are. You are not some kind of apprentice to yourself who will one day, with enough “self-improvement”, become the real you. It is too late for that. You already are who you are. You can wake up to this truth and do the work to realize and embody who you are or, you can nod out trying to improve this thing called “self”, whatever that is.
