On becoming better...


   I'm constantly unhappy with myself. I think to myself, If only I could be more like so-and-so. I imitate people I admire, thinking that it will make me a better person. But Julius Charles Hare has some great advice for my predicament, which is a problem I know I'm not sharing alone:
   "Be what you are.  This is the first step toward becoming better than you are."
   I'm not going to become a better person by wishing I was someone else. The only way I can start improving my life is by first finding out who I am, and then making the most of that!
