Better

Why push to be the best possible version of ourself? Is it so we can be better than someone else? Is it so we look better? We all know the answer to that, of course not.

Then why do we better ourselves?

Effectiveness. Effectiveness in helping other people. The better version of ourselves we become, the more effective we are in helping people.

Helping others is much more fulfilling than becoming something ourselves, and leaving it there. Using your time and talents for others is where joy and fulfillment is.

A song says, "a friend in need is a friend indeed".
