I wish I could just pinpoint all the things that are "wrong" with me and then change them at will. I think generally for most people it's hard to see yourself as you truly are, and the kind of discipline it takes to set yourself a goal and stick to it (because as alpha and roboshark say, the goal can change), is sometimes too difficult to handle.

I do think you don't have to be so hard on yourself, and that if things don't go according to your master plan, well then that's ok because if you accept life for what it is, youĞll be happy no matter what the outcome.

Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.


Fernando Pessoa, 1918
