IRANIAN STUDENT

Before we can make any changes in our lives, we need to gain awareness of our choices. We also need to gain awareness of why it is easier for us to make certain choices as opposed to others. This is often related to the way we were raised, to our relationships with parents and siblings, friends, and other important people in our lives. The choices that we make are often influenced by conclusions we made early in life about how life, people, and relationships work, and about our own self-worth. During adolescence the major aspects of our self-perception and identity are formed by conclusions we make based on peer interactions. Without awareness and self-understanding, we often live life as if our perceptions are absolute truths. Our misperceptions can cause us, and those around us, much pain and suffering. Our misperceptions also limit our ability to realize our full potential, and to enjoy the beauty of life.
