Just my opinion but maybe not everyone has something to work on. We do kind of live in a society of focusing on ourselves for improvement.
Maybe we need just need to be our best to help and to give to others who need it.
Maybe when I look at my life and see it is pretty wonderful maybe I need to understand that it may not feel that way to my loved ones in it. I should probably ask them what they are working on and see if there is anything I can do to help them.
I don't know that I can do that if I'm not at my best.
I'm just speaking from my experience that no matter how great I think my life is my older parents and mother with Alzheimer's isn't having so much fun. I can't help them if I'm not there to do it. That's what alcohol did to me. I wasn't there even when I was there.
Just me.
