There is a reason why we struggle so much with dating and being in a relationship. It's not trust, it's not because of the differences between men and women.

Too many people live on auto pilot mindset. We stop dreaming and setting goals when we get to certain age. We stop trying after a few failures.

A lot us act in many ways that programmed, but unknowing to us, because we don't never take time to analyze ourselves, especially in situations that we feel are not so chaotic.

But habits of small decisions, are habits of severe consequences also. Paying attention to your choice of actions, and purposing to stop some poor choices can be a gateway to personal fulfilling life.

So why then do we act out our real lives?
