Improvement

So... I tend to be a person that's constantly looking to improve things. This is a double-edged sword, as it's both my strength and my weakness.

It's wonderful when I change something for the better - either within myself, or my environment, or the people with whom I share my life. The downside to this is that when you're constantly looking to improve things, it also means you're naturally looking for what needs improvement.

Once I've identified what needs to be improved... well, then... I try to figure out how to improve it. A side-effect of this planning is that it can occasionally manifest itself as me trying to control everything.

So there you have it... I believe (although others may disagree) that these are my biggest obstacles in life. 9 times out of 10, when I'm in conflict with either something, or someone, it's because I'm looking to improve and/or control things.

Currently on my "needs improvement" list:

• My health/my weight
• My job satisfaction
• My living space
• My financial situation
• My family

Chances are, these will be underlying themes behind future posts, so I'm preparing you now for it... Although, to be fair, that's just because these things are on my radar right now - things can change and maybe next week one (or more) of these things will be completely forgotten about.
