Self evaluation and action...

So in talking to people i come to wonder what aspects and planet/house placements correspond with one's drive to improve oneself as a person...
me for example, i am very self aware and continually work on areas of my character i believe need improvement...
it has always been something ive thought about and put into action...
but i have found people who it seems have never even thought about some of these things, or when brought to the attention and talked about, dont do anything with that awareness...

Anyone have some input? Thanks

I don't really think about improving myself as a person... If something is wrong I generally sulk in, have a mental talk with myself and eventually it goes away. OR just tend to ignore it.

However, I do end up improving myself over time, but in a completely unawared manner.
Life itself takes care of it!
I can't tell how many times this happened over the years! Example: I used to be really detached from my parents, "I'm independent, leave me alone!". Then I had an accident, LIFE SLAP! Guess who took care of me...

All these life slaps led to self improvement, but I wish I could be more conscious about it... maybe the slaps wouldn't be so hard!
