If you want to improve your life, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding you back and preventing your evolution. These might include your preference for illusions, your hypersensitivity, your emotionalism, your lack of self-confidence, and your guilt.

Although you are friendly and outgoing, you often find it difficult to balance your own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs. To understand and overcome this problem, you should accept the idea that every relationship follows more or less the same general scheme: a base of intimacy and an accomplishment or purpose apart from the relationship itself. If you succeed in defining, through discussion and communication, what sort of intimate relationship you and your partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.
