what are some of the things that you aspire to improve in yourself and become a better person in to better glorify God and be a blessing to others? my daily prayer is that God would make me into who he designed for me to be.

For me, I desire to be a better communicator,
better at taking responsibility for my actions,
Less judgemental
more respectful and submissive
more in tune to hearing God's voice
spending more time in prayer
becoming sweeter gentler and more loving
being quicker to forgive
coming last sensitive two others opinions
finding my significance in Christ and not in people or things
finding my comfort and affirmation in God first
not letting past experiences dictate future fears
managing stress better and stopping unhealthy habits
complaining less
not being too proud to ask for help
becoming a better wife a better daughter a better friend a better servant

I'm sure I have tons more I love this thread already hopefully other people will want to participate too! I see it as a positive thing I love always having goals to work towards :)

Hello Beauty4Ashes,

Thank you for sharing your goal. It is very nice but for me it may take a very long time to accomplish all.

To look back those days, I would like to improve myself in "coming last sensitive to others opinions and being quicker to forgive" :)

I used to have lots of self-improvement goals. Now my goals mostly just involve sleep (for the little guy and me). Though I would like to not worry so much. That's something I'm working on.
those are good ones. thank you for sharing :) that reminds me I would like to add setting a better sleep schedule and keeping it routine.

Hello Beauty4Ashes,

oh I totally understand so these are things I have been working on for a long time and have made progress in other ones will still take more time to accomplish.

yes forgiveness and letting go of fear of man (caring so much about other peoples opinions) man are very important and big ones for me to work on. of course right when I think I have gotten better something will pop up to show me I still have quite a ways to go!

thank you for sharing feel free to add anything if you think of it

Excellent idea :)

I'm working on...
genuinely becoming a good person, and not just give the impression of being one
communicating more and avoiding less when difficult situations occur
opening up to people and actually letting friendships develop rather than sabotaging them before they've even started
praying more; both at home and at church
being strong enough to listen to the quieter thoughts I have
being a better daughter; my parents are not perfect, but they deserve more respect than I have given them

what I'm working on now is letting things go and a part of doing that I'm finding is being intentional with people in confronting them or letting them knowhow their past behaviors made me feel rather than just assuming the worst andcutting them out of my life ignoring them and stuffing the hurt inside. I hate drama and I hate confrontation so this is difficult but I'm finding it so freeing and I'm so proud of myself that I finally got to a point where I am able to do this. I hope I get brave enough to do it verbally with some people as well

To be the daughter, my Father deserves.

I like that however for myself I think it's more important to be the daughter that he desires for me to be and created for me to be. :) that is my daily goal

:groupray:
Having more patience.
Trying to 'solve' situations less and just go with the flow.
Less anxiety/worry/overthinking.

those are good ones I used to pray for more patient all the time and our God has definitely give it to me unfortunately not in easy ways. I used to consider myself a very impatient person and I definitely think that is something I can see a great improvement in. I would like to worry and think less akso specially when its time to go to sleep

These are some of my goals to self improvement.

1. Continue building a stronger and closer personal friendship with God.

2. Spend more time learning the things I'm trying to learn like playing the guitar and crocheting.

3. Less sensitive

4. Eat a completely vegan diet.
