- I have not yet learned to take more responsibility and be more proactive for what I CAN change and do.
-I have not yet learned the value of thinking before I speak, and of saying nothing unless it is positive  .
-I don't actually do what I preach and believe in, the Golden Rule about treating others as you would like to be treated yourself.
-I have not yet internalized that life is indeed a process and not a final destination- a notion which sets me up for failure if I don't reach that "successful" goal of a perfect job or life or whatever...
-I have not yet really understood that everyone has "stuff". I am not the center of unhappiness, with a world full of happy and perfect people circling me.
-I have not yet understood the value of finding a passion and other interests, of opening myself up to things which will fulfill me and take away the constant focus on my emotions and mental state.
-I have not yet learned how to stop beating myself up.
So.. how's that?? Can I stop now?? Oh, one more:
- I have not yet learned how to listen to myself and realize the value of knowing what hinders me. I have not yet learned to take that information, internalize it, and DO something so that my list gets shorter and I am no longer hindered!!
But starting right now... I will try.
