I look at everything in life as a lesson whether it be negative or positive because there is no situation where God is not. The only way to improve is to learn not only by our mistakes but also from one another. Craig,

This is what i strive for in my life. I have no self-esteem or self-perception issues, in fact i am perfectly 'happy' with who i am. However, i am inspired by my potential, and it is this reason that i strive to be the best i can be.

You can be happy before you learn to play piano, while learning, and after you are an amazing piano player. You can be obese, and happy, or strive to get in good shape to satisfy your standards of how people ought to be, and be happy while and after doing so. Happy is irrelevant to 'self improvement', you can be one and not be doing the other, you can do both, or you can do neither. I say, both is good for me. I think your problem may be with those who need the self improvement to be happy. Sound good or am I confusing your ideas here?

Maybe it's more like changing into another dress. I like all of my dresses but for today I think I'll wear this one. Not that the one I took off wasn't good but rather I think I'll try this one for a change. Maybe it’s not about bettering oneself as this does imply that we below some kind of measurement.
