Sometimes your reflection can be the hardest thing to see!
Why is it when we look at other peoples situations their problems seem so obvious? If you have a really good friend or are a really good friend you know exactly what I mean. When a friend is in trouble a lot of times it is easy to see what the problem is and try to diagnose a solution. You can go through that same problem and have no idea what the issue is and it may seem like there is no solution in sight. It seems that it is always easier to look at someone else than it is to look at ourselves. We seem to have a tendency of getting in our own way. It is almost as if the problem disables our ability to analyze and adjust. That is why it is so important to have good friends around you to help figure out your situation. How is your friends list looking?
Helping other people can sometimes be like helping yourself. Sometimes we face the same problems that others are facing and helping them may give you some clarity in your own situation. They say "birds of a feather flock together" so you are bound to have a friend that has gone through something similar to the issue(s) you are currently facing. You don't always have to do it alone, most times it can be beneficial to have a good friend to help you. Remember that by getting help from someone else you are most likely helping them in some regard or another so don't be afraid to ask. Whatever you do don't give up, a breakthrough is right around the corner. You can do it!
