Even honest and self-aware individuals who know the problem lies inside of them still may have trouble getting to the root of the issue.

They merely hope things will turn out all right—and they become frustrated when they don’t. Recognize that only when you make the right changes to your thinking do other things begin to turn out right in your life.”
