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. – Your insatiable appetites. – Your stubbornness. – Your reluctance to change.

You sometimes struggle with the conflict between your desire to achieve social and professional success and your need for a stable, secure domestic life. You are deeply committed to both ideas and have difficulty reconciling their demands on you. Sometimes it feels as though you will never be able to find a balance. However, no job promotion will really satisfy you if you neglect your most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier to you to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if you solely 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.

My emotions are fluctuating and unstable. Although I have the ability to detach myself from my emotions to analyze and observe them, this tendency sometimes prevents me from truly engaging myself in emotional terms and may act as a defense against any emotional impact. This is the reason why I subject all my feelings to an intellectual interpretation rather than yielding to them. It is also the reason why I might falter, hesitate, contradict myself and seem to say both yes and no when I have an opportunity to commit myself emotionally. I should make a conscious effort to overcome this unconscious conditioning which may be related to my childhood. I must first learn to observe and assimilate other people’s feelings instead of rejecting them. This exercise will teach me to understand my own reactions and affects better.
