is it important to become better?

is it important to become a better person not specifically for you but in your eyes should everyone be trying to become a better person? I used to be obsessed over taking steps to become better, do better change my personality traits , but in the end it always not only goes back to the way it was but usually becomes worse, i want to try different method of changing my personality but i dont know what to do so in life right now i am just trying to settle down with the fact that im not doing anything to change and become better because doing a method that dosent work and chastising yourself for it not working is worse then not doing anything. so i think that it dose not matter whether you improve yourself or not in life even trying to improve dosent matter all that matters is that your enjoying life.

for the most part your personality is your personality ...what you can change is those traits you would not allow in the friends around you. treat people as you like to be treated.. as you meet people through out life you do adopt those traits you admire, I know i have.. try to be a person with a rock solid moral compass, surround yourself with people with the same values. you will feel the difference inside

That moral compass is, in my opinion, the most important part of anyone's character. I think personality springs from character, but isn't exactly the same. Character is who you are. Personality is who you show the world. I think many parts of our personalities show up in different social and business and family settings, but our basic character never changes.
