Progress over Perfection!

I have been reading up on personal development and ways to improve my quality of life and success, I have stumbled upon several straightforward and often contradictory ideologies from various scientists, neurosurgeons, social researchers, personal development authors, and spiritual writers alike. But, how can I track my growth? What are the qualities that constitute well-rounded progress through life? I tried to find answers and after some brainstorming, I came up with a checklist. Here is a list of 45 questions I ask myself to get better one step at a time.
