Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:5-8
There are many self improvement books. Some are good and some are not so good. In the end what value is there in self improvement, if the improvement does not leave both the world and us in a better place?
No one is perfect and no amount of self work can make anyone of us perfect. But we can aspire to loftier goals that will bring us to a place where we find our lives make the world a better place for not just ourselves, but for others as well.
Aspire to be useful and fruitful.
