I read this too
“you experience the same mistake over and over again, untill you really overcome it”
I hope i will finally learn from my mistakes from future, and will improve myself in all good things – possibilities.

We need to improve ourself everyday, no one is so good that can’t be better. Only one is God.

have a nice day

right o buddy !!

but then not always, right, a wol knows balance, taughtness of his string, the importance of remaining relaxed and at the same time time tensed adequately for te task at hand,

always ! is too all prevading, but then the quotations from manual of wol should be seen togather with all other dictums, the essnce that is generated after redaing teh whole thing, imbibing it, should be remembered, the words themselves can be forgotten. purpouse of teh words are to convey that essence which cannot be conveyd in words, once essence is conveyd theu words and silence, both can be ‘dropped’

I think that is a tricky verb, to improve can mean a lot of different things, all depending of where you are looking from.

I heard something like that:

” When you don’t try to improve, to move forward with whatever you doing, you back up.”

I think it’s so true.
As Leaf said, we should never be satisfied with ourselves, because that means that you closed to other ideas, other people,
but don’t mix this up with total dissatisfaction, that’s destructive.
As it was said before – we need balance –
- in everything.

I know that sometimes I feel like I’m really close to something, but the next day, or later I feel exactly opposite.
That’s life.
We learn everyday, and God gives us other people, situations to deal with, or to learn from.

I read a while ago that,
you experience the same mistake over and over again, untill you really overcome it.

Also I realized one day that by teaching, helping someone to deal with problems, you actually learn yourself, sometimes not even knowing it at this moment.

Life is a great puzzle, I guess.

My motto is:
I help (you) – (you) or somebody else will help me –
one day.

love,
love to you Leaf,
love to everybody,
Agnieszka

I used to have a ‘thing’ about people who were simply satisfied with their lot, so to speak.
I found my driving force, years ago, in trying to improve on everything.
But as ever, when one lets go of others differences, even to lead the way of improvement, it is found that, happily, when they see things improving, if not just for me but themselves, then it all makes sense and becomes worthwhile.
I would not wish to improve anything unless all around me would benefit.
I don’t even know why that is so.
Just that I Love (you)
all (of you)
and i know what it means to be without you, Love
