If you really want to improve and transform yourself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding you back and preventing your evolution. Angela Ruch identifies the following weaknesses as holding her back from evolving: her insatiable appetites, her stubbornness, her grimness, and her reluctance to change.

Although it sometimes seems easier to me to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if I merely sacrifice my domestic life, I am only trying to fool myself. I should accept the fact that my domestic life is the true basis and foundation of my development. All my career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.

Angela Ruch may find herself feeling frustration and insecurity in her relations with other people, or in matters related to communication, until she finds the right direction for herself. She is fairly skeptical and sometimes overly rational, so she does not always trust in the power of her own imagination and emotions, and she is even more wary of other people’s imagination and emotions. Her approach is sometimes hindered by pessimism, and people may find her cynical. She would do well to learn to be more generous with herself in her intimate and social relationships instead of immediately snuffing out other people’s spontaneous expressions of hope and goodwill.
