One characteristic that we often share with others on our life path is seeking answers to the question: Who am I?
During our childhood we become aware that we are individuals who have similarities and differences with the other people in our world. In seeking to better understand ourselves, we may ask questions like: Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? Is there anything 'special' about me? What do others really think about me? How can I make my life into a positive and healthy journey?
Like life itself, how one chooses to respond to existential questions like these tends to be individualistic and allows us to create our personal life path.

We are constantly facing change in our lives while attempting to make positive and healthy decisions. You and I tend to rely on life experiences in this process with habituation being chosen for managing most of our repetitive decisions.

Reaching various life path junctions we may need to evaluate and decide on a new direction or re-decide to continue along the same path that has worked to some degree for us so far.

These junctions can occur when we realize that our current thoughts, feelings and behaviors are not providing satisfactory outcomes for living life.

Hopefully, we can avoid using mind games like "If only" or "What if" to paralyze us from evaluating and making healthy positive life choices that require some degree of change.

Whether it is a spouse, family member, friend, coworker, or neighbor, many of us know someone who is most eager with their behavior to impose his/her version of what is true and correct for living life.. One of their viewpoints often is that one size fits all and the world would be a better place if everyone thought and behaved in the same way.

Compromise and structuring win-win outcomes for our relationships may often be seen as a weakness and to be avoided. These individuals tend to use certain words to impose their viewpoint like: should, reality, normal, healthy, natural, etc.

Since we live in a world governed by our social interactions with others, it can be most positive for us to understand and develop strategies for dealing with any truth bullies we may have in our world.
