I was coversing with a friend the other day, and i said something which shocked her and she was like, adam and here i was thinking,you had become better,and i immediately corrected that impression.
The goal is not to become better,the goal is to become me.
I know she might have not understood it,and i am guessing you too might not, because you might think,arent we all trying to become better versions of ourselves.
This is it, the Goal in life is supposed to be,becoming who you were created to be, like a finished product,not a better person,and also there is no set or definite standard, because we are always better than someone somewhere,so its a very vague standard by which your growth should be measured .
In case you don't really get my point, let me use this illustration.

I know at times,some of us watch documentaries and we'd see a female lion, training and guiding the cub, teaching him how to hunt, how to feed, how to scout, how to fight off others and all those animal kingdom animal tutorials 😁😁😁.
Why do we think she is doing all of this?
She's is not doing all this so that the cub becomes a very good fighter,or hunter and most of all she's not doing it because she wants the cub to be a better cub, she is taking all that stress, and effort and time to train the cub, so that it can grow into a LION, NOT a BETTER cub.
So you see what i was saying,
You goal in life should be to find out who you truly are, who is trapped within you,just like a lion is trapped in a cub,so is greatness trapped in you.
Anyone can speak better, anyone can have good character,anyone can be mature, but nobody can or will ever be YOU,find out who you truly are and do everything you can to be that person.
DON'T be BETTER be YOU
