Finding your weakness

Lets start with an exercise:

• List situations which frustrate you and list situations that inspire you.

• Think of all the people in this world who 'push your buttons' and people who give you the 'warm fuzzies'.

• Now think of the situations which anger you and situations that please you.

• Finally, try to understand and explain why you struggle with some situations and succeed in others.

(Reading annoying instructions like the above count)

You have just bumped up against a weakness. To fix the weakness at the root, don't waste time externalizing the causes (i.e. blaming others, your parents or circumstances).

Being human, you have to 'grandfather' in new behaviors. Be patient with yourself.
