There is always a better version of yourself available to you. That's kind of my motto lately. Over the winter I have worked to reinvent myself. Not "change" so much as "improve". There is a difference. I think that sometimes we limit our own growth and evolution because we scream "it's just the way that I am" or "accept me for me". Don't get me wrong you are you and you should not change that; however I think we are too quick to define ourselves by our short comings, and instead of confronting them we hide behind excuses. Just because you are impatient by nature does not mean that this is not an area that you are not capable of growing in.
I want to be the best version of myself that I can be. There are some things about me that I can't change (and to be honest these are the ones that we have the hardest time accepting and the ones, that usually we are most preoccupied with) and things that I can. I have the face that I have. Fact. And unless I want to look like Micheal Jackson or Joan Rivers I need to accept that as something that I can't change and roll with it. I can't change my body but I can work out and eat healthy to make sure that my body is the best version that it can be. I don't bake. That is until one day when I decided that I was going to learn.
You can upgrade yourself by finding things in your self that you want to change. It's not immediate. It's not overnight. It does, however, make a difference.
