If you are serious about transforming yourself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses that may be holding you back and preventing your evolution. These could be your continual need for security, your tendency to escape into fantasy, your hunger for approval, your longing for the past, your fear of the future, or your investment systems.

Beverly Archer sets unrealistic goals for herself and struggles with organization. These tendencies are particularly evident when it comes to her emotional relationships. In the beginning, she will idealize the potential partner, putting them on a pedestal, but then she will try to dodge her commitment and desperately plot to extricate herself.

Life could step in to urge her to slow down and induce her to organize herself with more patience and forethought.
