The First Step to Improve English Pronunciation

We have to disregard those patterns which are holding us back, and focus on our beliefs which take us to better life. A lot of times we have beliefs we don't even realize them. Do you think it's a good idea to lose one's accent on the path to improving english? If you want to, certainly that's totally fine.
