Last night my boyfriend gave me some constructive criticism and I actually listened. (What? I'm not perfect?!? This came as a shock to me as well.)
I've always said that I want to surround myself with people that make me want to be a better person. But I guess I've never really fully considered what that means. Wanting to be a better person is one thing. Becoming a better person is another. It involves admitting that others might know more than me and then changing to see their point of view. Or to at least consider it.
These things are uncomfortable and scary. All of this reminds me of a moment in As Good As It Gets.
I guess I just want to say thank you to everyone who is in my life in big and small ways. You make me want to be a better woman. And damn, I know it's hard because I'm stubborn and arrogant!
In turn, I encourage people to speak their minds and keep their perspectives. No one person thinks in the same way, and you never know whose life or heart you will touch with your thoughts.

Someone actually put this clip on youtube? I thought that you taped it off the tv and uploaded it to youtube. I guess you can find most anything on the web.
It is not having the house or buying a full set of Le Crueset that makes one happy in life, but it is the feeling of progress. You are happy because you are more than just curious or look for change but because you really grow. :) Ivan
I completely agree. Growing is hard, but if it was easy everyone would be doing it, right? And happiness comes from within, but I wouldn't mind the Le Crueset :)
