I'm seeing lots of people bash improvement on Medium. Today I talk about that.

To be fair, Medium is quite a hot-bed for lots of annoying success style blogging, but I’m seeing a lot of anti-success stuff too

They’re always very negative and always very nasty, especially towards self improvement

I see this attitude a lot from quite a few people, who actually think wanting to improve yourself is a dirty word.

You shouldn’t be embarrassed for wanting to improve yourself, or wanting to be better

However, being happy with what you’ve got and grateful is important too

Ed Latimore said it well on Twitter https://twitter.com/edlatimore/status/931148963960508416 (when I asked him this very question): how do you balance being grateful with what you’ve got vs always improving.

“Gratitude reminds you it could be worse. Ambition makes you desire more. They balance each other out: gratitude against greed, ambition and lethargy.
