If you want to improve your life, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which are holding you back and preventing your evolution. These are your perfectionism, your tendency to hyperfocus on minutiae, your over intellectualization, and your comfort with a constant state of worry.

As a young person, you may feel out of phase with the social conventions and belief systems regulating your community or the ethical codes you are supposed to follow. Although, like anyone, you want to become a productive and valuable member of society, the models of success and achievement you see around you don’t particularly inspire you. In order for you to find your own individual way to fit in, you will have to go through a period of long, hard introspection and self-examination, if you have 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 your way of participating in society. Possible opportunities for introspection include a major journey, or advanced studies, etc.
