Your post today is loaded with important implications, but I want to comment on this one: "Ask yourself what you need to do or become to create your life the way you want it to be." A hard realization in the process of self-discovery is experiencing that the life we have, the one we're living right now, is life as we WANT IT TO BE. We're getting something out of it. We might tell ourselves that it's not our "fault" how life turned out, but we created it. We made it. We caused it. We can blame circumstances or other people but we can't continue to play the victim and hope to transform what we do or who we've become. The good news is that transformation happens
in the blink of an eye, in the time it takes to speak "possibility" into reality.
I think a lot of people react negatively to saying they WANT something negative in their life and will push against that idea. I think you said it much better by saying they are getting something out of it. As long as we're getting some sort of positive from a behavior or situation, we won't change it. A sick person gets attention. A person who struggles with money faces less stress to perform, etc....
