Close call. Good save. Knowing we want to be different is so abstract as to be meaningless. Change requires identifying the problems as they happen. I suppose there are some folks who can avoid that process, but I can't imagine how.
You mention the parts of yourself that you hate. That's reminding me that our strengths are our weaknesses, and vice versa. These qualities we have that get us into trouble, there's also something about them that is useful in some situations. So, rather than purging parts of ourselves, we just need to work on being more discerning and identifying and using what our strengths actually are in any given situation.
I don't think I'm being very coherent. Must be time to eat.
