Luke 22:32- When you are converted then you will help lift and strengthen others.
One of my favorite quotes from Pres. Kimball is "One can hardly help another to the top of the hill without climbing there himself". Many times we think that we have to finish working on ourselves before we can start helping others; (that whole put your oxygen mask on before you help others put theirs on). I think there is some truth to that but I think more often than not, most of our growth and 'becoming' comes when we reach out and focus on others and serve. I think that when Christ says 'converted', it is talking about the desire to do better, the desire to become more like Christ, not necessarily being an amazing/spectacular human. That becoming and that true change into becoming as Christ is, comes when we reach out and strengthen others and give our all to serving them.
