In the world of self-improvement the focus seems to be on becoming smarter, being healthier, more attractive, wealthier, and more envied by others.  There is nothing wrong with improving our minds and bodies.  I am not sure about increasing envy but perhaps that is more of a social media phenomenon. I want to continue to grow and thrive as a human being.  I find great peace in taking responsibility for all areas of my life and find that it allows me to be more authentic. A tremendous element of that authenticity is about the improvement of my heart. If I grow in all areas of life but still find myself guarded and not open to the presence of love in forms I do not recognize then what good is all that other stuff?  God has shown me on my daily dates that starting with the intention to improve my connection to my own heart is by being with what is.  It is not starting with the shoulds or the expectations of myself.  It is about starting the process of improvement from knowing that right now who I am is enough.  The true self-improvement comes from accepting who I am right now and then look to where I want to go.  Improvement is as much of a heart exercise as it is a mental exercise.  Improvement of the heart begins with recognizing the truth of who I am at my core because it is how I am designed.  In that, I recognize that no matter what I do or do not do I cannot undo the love from which I was created and there is no need to improve it.  The real face of improvement is one that brings us to the place of acceptance of the truth of love’s presence within us so from there we can grow love.
