Intentional change happens through years of dedicated work and organization. Very few people accidentally improve themselves overnight. Even fewer wake up to discover they’ve improved society.
To elaborate on this one: Sudden change (for the better) happens, but it’s extremely rare. It’s happened twice for me, and I think those are outliers. Usually, progress is slow and tedious, and you don’t notice it while it’s happening. Only in retrospect does the change become truly visible.
The people living in the Renaissance didn’t feel that change was happening around them.
