It might seem like a simple answer, but I genuinely believe that my own self-improvement is the key. By working on myself, it can have a positive ripple effect. While this may sound intuitive, putting it into practice is essential. I hold the belief that certain things are within our control, while others are not, but having a clear sense of purpose and direction guides my actions. I think that by improving myself, I can potentially contribute to the betterment of the world around me.
