You scroll on Facebook and see people having fun on their vacations, spending time with one another, or celebrating their achievements. You, on the other hand, are struggling along, just trying to make it through the day and coming home exhausted.
\n<\/p>\n
In an effort to console yourself, you try to rationalize why you\u2019re in this situation and figure it must just be \u201cbad luck\u201d.<\/p>\n
Over time, it can be frustrating. You could be sabotaging your own growth without realizing it. But the good news is that, if you pay attention to your thought process, you\u2019ll realize that you can become in control of your situation.<\/p>\n
