So much advice tells us to ‘be ourselves’ or ‘be true to ourselves’, and yet we would all agree that it behooves us to undertake a certain amount of self improvement e.g. if someone tells you that you are rude, it would be worthwhile makeing an attempt to be more courteous, the same goes with other things like being more confident, more loving, more literate, more open minded, more healthy etc.
This contradiction has been haunting me for years. I would very much like to change and improve myself, but I keep being told that I should just be myself. What am I supposed to do?

As a single lady I get some free time, but I have a bit of a dilema. Most of the time I use my free time to somehow improve (either work on improving my dwelling or do investing), or do something useful, very seldom do I sit around. However, I really think I should take vacations as I need to make some pleasant memories. But then I see that time as wasted because I didn’t “improve” my situation in some way. I need to find a healthy balance. Any ideas here (and yes I know many of us don’t have a moment to spare!)

Both self-improvement and the improvement of the world around you go hand in hand as they are effected by both. It is like a circle. I think that it is best to start out with what you feel is easiest. For me, self-improvment is a never-ending quest and I’m quite content with that. As I walk down this path of enlightenment, I feel that as I’m learning more about myself, I’m improving not only the inside of my being and outside, but also the world around me. My growth spawns more growth around those who I gather with. This, like a wildfire, spreads among the masses until it reaches back to me. A circle.

Today I went to the library and checked the “self improvement” section. I am a firm believer, that there is always something that someone can improve him/herself. The titles of those books shocked me!!
“How to talk to a moody partner”
“How to stay sober and succeed”
“How to date and actually marry the person”
“How to wake up and smell the flowers”
So many “how to”…meanwhile, the “Home &Garden” section, was a keeper ! Everyone was buying “how to plant tomatoes and how to cook them” !
