This is perhaps the concept I have the most difficulty with. The idea, well summed up here by Cheri Huber. "As long as you are concerned about improving yourself, you’ll always have a self to improve. And you will always suffer."
I understand this intellectually, but I am having a lot of difficulty finding a pragmatic way to frame this and make it applicable in life. There are many things I would deem as positive goals, such as: "Being a more loving partner", "Aiming for more exciting work projects", "increasing my health". Life, in essence, is a game of sorts. A beautiful one that is tremendous joy to play.
How do you all think about the balance of healthy ambition and the burden of self-improvement?
