But I don't think you can change only because you want to. There are some factors in your life that make you change, but I'm really doubtful about the possibility of changnig faults into qualities only with intentions.
I'm incredibly selfish too, and I know it. When I have a bad day (which is like....everyday) I feel like I'm the only one in the entire world who is going through what I'm going through. But later on, when I calm down, I realize how selfish I was and then I feel bad. I'm beginning to try not to be like that. Whenever I feel like I have a bad day or I wasn't able to get an item I want, I just think about all the different people in the world, living in poverty and so on. Then, I yell at myself, and I feel better.
