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.

You sometimes struggle with the conflict between your desire to be successful in your professional life and your need for a stable, secure domestic life. You are deeply committed to both ideas and find it difficult to reconcile their demanding schedules and demands on you. Sometimes it feels as though you will never be able to find a balance. However, no promotion will truly satisfy you if you have neglected your most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier to you to climb the career ladder out there in the real world, if you merely sacrifice your domestic life, you are only fooling yourself. You should accept the fact that your domestic life is the true basis and foundation of your development. All your career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.
