The goal of continuous improvement is just that. Always be improving. Never settling. 

Another way to look at this is the mission to always be increasing your reference set. 

By focusing on the tools, education, books, podcast, content that we intake we are just adding to our reference set.

Improve can be a subjective term, at least at large. That is not in our control. People are allowed to have different ideas of what improvement looks like.

But what is in control is our ability to add to our reference set. We can gain new tools, new perspectives and so on and when the time comes to implore them we are ready because of that training. Because of that constant search to invest in our reference set.
