If you want to improve, your first step is to become aware of your weaknesses. These can be things like being ineffective when it comes to bluffing, not being able to handle certain things, or being unwilling to change your opinions.

Izaac Margin sometimes feels conflicted between wanting to pursue social and professional success and needing to have a stable, secure domestic life. He is deeply committed to both ideas and does not always succeed in reconciling their schedules and demands on him. Sometimes it feels as though he will never be able to find a balance. However, no job promotion will really satisfy him if he neglects his most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier to him to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if he merely sacrifices his domestic life, he is only trying to fool himself. He should accept the fact that his domestic life is the true basis and foundation of his development. All his career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.

Izaac Margin has the ability to detach himself from his emotions to analyze and observe them, but this tendency sometimes prevents him from truly engaging himself in emotional terms. This is the reason why he subjects all his feelings to an intellectual interpretation rather than yielding to them. It is also the reason why he might falter, hesitate, contradict himself and seem to say both yes and no when he has an opportunity to commit himself emotionally. He should make a conscious effort to overcome this unconscious conditioning which may be related to his childhood. He must first learn to observe and assimilate other people’s feelings instead of rejecting them. This exercise will teach him to understand his own reactions and affects better.

Izaac Margin, a young person, feels out of phase with the social conventions and belief systems regulating his community or the ethical codes he is supposed to follow. Although, like anyone, he wants to become a productive and valuable member of society, the models of success and achievement he sees around him don’t particularly inspire him for some reason. In order for him to find his own individual way to fit in, he will have to go through a period of long, hard introspection and self-examination, if he has not done so already. This intense introspection will yield a new self-image, a new identity, and a new vision of the world. It will be a turning point in his way of participating in society. Possible opportunities for introspection include a major journey, or advanced studies, etc.
