Very interesting your words. One thing you said called my attention in particular: the importance of understanding your weaknesses. I don’t recall any emphasis on this in the book, but I do think that many people hide from themselves their weaknesses, what creates a lot of internal pressure. I had an aunt, for example, that pretend living a life without problems, one day she just exploded and had a 24 hours amnesia.
What do you think about this?

By taking the responsibilities of our decisions and obligations should to a top priority for everyone. This a seem a little uncomfortable at first. But eventually you can attain this goal. When we reach this point in life, we will be well aware of all the possible results if our decisions. So nothing becomes unexpected to us, which in turn reduces our anxiety. It helps is be aware of our weak points.

I'm not a master of taking responsibility myself, but of all I have read, the best advice seems to be: make your bed every morning. Starting from the Army, you can find this echoing in many places.

I'm curious. You wrote that we reach a point where we can be aware of all the possible results of our decisions. Nothing becomes unexpected. Can this be true? Can you elaborate more on that? This is really valuable if you could share.

Our lives are ours to be lived, and there is no one that should determined the course of our lives. Specially something as negative as anxiety that prevents us from enjoying life.

True enough! Maybe what stops many people to take responsibility over their lives is to be told to do so. They do the opposite just to show they are in control, weird isn’t it? When they decide by themselves things start to flow.
