I have to agree with this. You start your life perfect...  and then: 

You are raised in/with: Abuse, Addictions, Poverty, Adoption, Illness – mental or physical, Handicaps, or some circumstance we have no control over. We acquire feelings of abandonment, low self esteem, unworthiness, complexes, syndromes and/or all of the above, before we ever reach adulthood. These feelings will decide which direction we will take on our life’s journey. We stockpile hurts, injustices, resentment and anger to build colossal walls around ourselves, never to be hurt again. There is always some cross to bear. 

This is what we have to overcome. Up until this point, we have been running our lives with the beliefs instilled in our childhood. But at some point as adults, we  decide to take a look at how we act, what we are doing, where we are lacking because something has come to a head. Life has not worked out as we planned.. Everything is a mess, we are unhappy. Then, the journey starts... we take a look at this life, we start to work on ourselves to undo all the harm that has been done living on this planet... we ask the tough questions, we look into why we are sabotaging ourselves and finally we start the climb up the mountain toward finding out who we really are. 

Nobody said it would be easy; but with each step of your journey, you learn something new, something that opens the doors to the next level. You are on your way to who you were meant to be in the first place. Never worry, you are right where you need to be and you are not alone. Everything will be OK.
