Dear Kareem:

You are very welcome and I appreciate your grace.

I think that it is indeed, very important in your mind, “to always strive for the best…the best version of myself” in every area. You strive to be the best at “being nice, courteous, and respectful to my family, friends, and everyone I encounter”.

In this quest to be the best version of yourself, to improve every day, you are having some troubles with emotions. Sometimes they are a problem for you and create a conflict as you strive for that ongoing improvement.

You expressed concern several times in your thread about having been too emotional, having sent that box because of emotion. You rely heavily on logic, on sensible thinking, but the emotion sometimes gets in the way.

What do you think?
