It is very easy to blame another person or events for the current life we are living. However, it is possible, that we ourselves are the very reason for the events that have brought us to where we are today. 


The individual events surrounding our lives continue to alter our life, just as it alters the life of every individual connected with us. The result on each person, is determined by the amount of contact between people and the strength of friendships and relationships. When a person has a difficult experience, its effects do not always have an immediate impact, as some people are slower to react and of course may also be slower to recover from an event. 


As we grow up, we are not taught how to look at ourselves and instead tend to look for an opinion from someone else, a doctor perhaps, or an older person in which we have some degree of respect.


That might very well work in some situations, provided you are in a position to clarify precisely, what it is you want to know and are asking an individual who has sufficient knowledge to provide you with an answer. 


It is not in our nature to seek assistance when all is going well in our lives but instead when life issues have become noticeable or when they have been pointed out to us. Regardless of where you are in your life at present, it is best not to attempt to self-diagnose yourself and place some label which is most likely to be incorrect. Taking this course, is a waste of valuable time, which can destroy any further attempts you might make in the future to alter your life. Change is not easy, change takes time and requires effort and flexibility. No start is better than a bad start, when it comes to life.
