Do you sometimes think your life didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to?  “If only X happened or Y didn’t, things would be much better for me today.”  “I am so unlucky, only bad things happen to me.” ”People are out to get me.” Or ”Why can’t I be more successful at my job?  Money?  Love?”

How long does it take to unlearn bad habits?  Just type in the question in Google and it will show a ton of pages telling you exactly how to do so.  Many methods are described with differing time frames promising the same thing.  Do this list, perform number 1, then 2, then 3, etc., etc..  Then when you get to the end - poof!  Problem solved.  That would be great and all- if we were all robots.
