the much needed self-improvement happens not during happy times...

I think what happens when we are down is really self-realization.self-improvement follows after that.we just think of what we've done when we have done.we will realize that we should have done this,not that.then,after realizing it we will think of what shall we do to redeem ourselves.

This is interesting. It is also relevant. I desire change, and am also lost in a turmoil of things. How do we manage to stay outside our comfort zone? This is so important! Your attention to this is great. Thanks. But, also, people will not do this, and this is my belief. But I must motivate myself. I think it is good because we should push ourselves. Also to love. But this is not right, I am not saying things right, it is too complex to put into these words. This is why we need better things, such as nature and other things that will sustain us. I am sorry for things, but mad and stubborn like a mule. I like these qualities, I even like the mule one, it is funny. But painful, and meditation too is painful, to open up and see things that are awful. Beautiful too.
