An outlook is not always seen externally. In most cases it is an internal adjustment that allows you to appreciate an outside movement.

You do not look outside for personal answers. You do benefit from looking internally and approaching the outcome with a different position on the matter.

Most people tend to look outside of themselves for answers. They rely on friends, family, doctors, therapists, etc. There is an importance in all of these listed, but the answers you seek are not found in these parties. If you take a deep look at this, it will change your outlook on wanting a better life or you will continue to lay within your current blanket of comfort and never get to appreciate the growth of happiness. Every finger you point at someone in life for being a reason as to why something happens then you will never be able to see a situation for what it truly is. Anything that WE are involved in makes us responsible in some way, shape, or form. When we point fingers at other people or things that make our problems what they are then we are not able to take responsibility for our involvement. This for me is something even during my worst times that I am not able to do. By nature I have always taken responsibility for my mistakes and all of my choices that have landed me in places that I did not want to be. My countless attempt to get better and all of the reasons landed in the same place were cause by me and my choices. Nobody else can do for me what I decide to not allow for myself. This was and has been a huge factor in my progress throughout my personal journey. I am absolutely sure of the following statement and I will leave it as this. If I become incapable of not making an adjustment by accepting my part. Then change is never going to be an option in me understanding how to better myself. Acceptance and understanding is a milestone that you can only obtain by starting with your next choice.
