Wouldn’t we all like to be a better version of ourselves? Fundamentally, I treasure the concept of this. On some level it suggests that we are already content with the being that we are, yet we strive to improve. I can clearly remember a time in my life where I never dreamed the self-loathing would ever allow me to be comfortable in my own skin. I spent most of my childhood daydreaming about being someone else. Now, I wouldn’t change any experience in this life because it has created who I am today. I am pleased to report I am comfortable in my own skin and accepting of the woman I am (I think I turned out way better than I ever could have imagined…ha!). I no longer desire to live someone else’s existence, but I do admire certain qualities in others that I hope to attain. There are also attributes that I currently possess that preferably I didn’t. “Being a better version of myself” incapsulates the idea of changing the things I can control to be a better person while being grateful for the progress I have already made.
