You have to set your priorities, and then go about your job. That sounds too simple to be true. It amazes me that most people spend more time planning next summer's vacation than they do planning the rest of their lives. Return to top. The quality of your life doesn't depend on your situations and circumstances, but on how you respond to them.
Many people like to blame their problems on others.
Parents usually rank first as scapegoats, followed in later years by hostile employers and rejecting lovers. Now, most parents do the best they can, raising their children the way they were brought up themselves. The mistakes they make result more from lack of knowledge than actual malice. Employers and lovers also have their own agendas and needs that don't always coincide with our own. As adults, we become responsible for our own choices, feelings, and self-esteem.
