Making things better often remains a broad idea of “making things better.”

In that situation, there is no clarity on what should be better and what will make it better. Developing that clarity would allow the person to set an endpoint to the journey of making this better and follow up with making “that” better.

Sticking with “making things better” thus becomes a journey one cannot bring to an endpoint. Anytime discomfort appears there will be a reason to make things better.

It’s called perfectionism.
