Life is painted on a canvas. The canvas affects everything you try to do. You can speak a thousand words and still be pointed in the wrong direction. That's why I focus more on biology these days. I believe the functioning of your brain affects your life more than any of your intentions ever could. It's the belief that you don't own your thoughts or your feelings. On the plus side, that makes it so you're not responsible for anything, so you can stop beating yourself up. But on the downside, it means you're sort of trapped. So my advice for people looking for help is to consider the biology of your brain. I couldn't think my way out of my problems... which would make sense if there was something physically wrong with my brain.
