It is hard to recognize faults or difficulties in yourself. It is even harder to figure out how to change them. It is easy to say "Just stop!" But not so easy to do. Time, patience, self awareness, and support are all greatly needed. Also, self assessment is completely necessary to decide what you want to change to. How do you know the person you are changing into will be correct and parallel with the life you wish to lead? Do you find other examples, role models to fashion your styles and actions off of? Or do you stumble blindly through the dark, picking yourself up as you fall? Do you need a guide?

Life is a test. It is a game, a competition, but the competing is only against yourself. There are rarely win-lose results against yourself. It is most often win-win or lose-lose.

I choose to win. Now I just have to figure out the rules, find the loop holes, slip the referee a $50, and trip the other players when no one it watching and I will totally be on top!
