There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. – Ernest Hemingway.
One thing is universally true, no matter what type of life you now live: everyone desires better for themselves.
It doesn’t imply we act on it even if it’s in our best interests; in fact, some habits can be harmful, but the desire is always present.
Wants are good, but they don’t necessarily convert into actions that move us closer to achieving our goals. The action is always the most difficult aspect. Ask any competent professional about their transition from the “wanting” to the “having” stage, and they’ll tell you it wasn’t easy.
Life is never as simple as social media makes it appear, but it also does not have to be difficult; as long as you are prepared to take action, there are always options.
The antonym of self improvement is self distruction. It happens when you are not about yourself, most common reasons are:

: Self-injuring friends
Self-confidence is low.
: isolation and exclusion from society are two words that come to mind when thinking about social.
Above mentioned causes are some of the factors of self distructive behaviour, if a person wants to focus on his/her growth and development they have to slowly let go of the things above mentioned.

The swiftest way to triple your success is to double your investment in personal development.” – Robin Sharma
This is the end of the chapter on self-development, but for both of us, the journey is just beginning. Every day is a new chance to live – you have to seize it when you wake up. Your mind sharpens your intent, and the latter begins to affect the physical reality around you after you have formed the resolve to evolve. Things begin to fall into place; you begin to meet the right people at the appropriate moments. You’ll observe how reality willingly obeys your will as you improve in matching all of your everyday activities with your goals. You take a step, and the Universe takes a step back to see what you’re going to do next. The transformation in mentality is caused by seeing how reality bends under the pressure of your intent. Your awareness of how to best use your time will improve. Even in your spare time, you’ll try to find significance.
