My point was more about self improvement for the sake of self improvement. The mind obsessing over getting to the next, better thing. In short, the self improvement mindset I'm referencing is driven by fear. No destination or achievement will fill that hole.

If you can let go of that fear, that gripping, that need to get to what's next, you can start living from a place of love. The rest follows. Growth isn't something you force, it's something you allow.
