I'm learning things slowly as I travel on my own journey and I agree that honesty with one's self, while sounding easy, is not always natural. I'm up for the challenge though!

Only then will you realize that your "luck" will start to change. By accepting responsibility, your daily actions take a different course...one for the better!

Great tips all around in your blog. One thing I try to train myself on is how to let my pride and ego not take a beating when I don't get the approval of others. A job interview is a fine example of this. You seek the approval of a stranger, and he or she judges whether you are good enough for the job, essentially giving you the thumbs up or thumbs down. The trick is being able to take the thumbs down without beating yourself up too much. A job or interview is hardly an important thing in the grand scheme of things. 'You suck' can be a dangerous thought to harbor, because it can lead to putting your concept of self in the hands of other people. I reserve the 'you suck' thoughts only when I fail on things that are most important to me, or if I go against my principles and values. I do like your advice of examining your life and identifying what isn't working, so that it can be fixed. Analyzing yourself in a non emotional, non-ego-related way is a good first step.
