Personally, I could think about what I could do to better myself more often. That's what I could do to better myself. I've been too wrapped up in trying to do the work needed of me for school / work. In many ways, I've been trying to do my best work. However, I haven't spent a whole lot of time to reflect on myself and my progress. Doing this would help me to more effectively move in the right direction - the direction toward improvement.
