When a person grows up, they abandon the way they saw themselves. Part of the pain of growth comes from realizing that you have been dishonest with yourself, and that grief makes people change. You always have to take a leap to renounce what is false. When we understand that we were cheating, we try to be much more honest.
The person who wastes her life denying herself by a sense of the wrong obligation only diminishes and hurts others. Often, that person exaggerates that sense of obligation to justify his self-rejection. She considers that her obligations absorb her because she fears to look at her life as someone free would do. She feels that, first of all, she has responsibilities towards others and uses that exaggerated obligation to justify her failure to achieve her own potential and as an excuse for not taking risks.The person who wastes her life denying herself by a sense of the wrong obligation only diminishes and hurts others.

All true yearning implies a risk. It is not possible to grow without taking risks, without venturing. At each stage of our growth we become a little stronger, we trust more in ourselves. Although we seem to grow step by step, each stage of our growth is not determined, in reality, by a step, but by a jump. That is precisely why risking inspires so much fear, and also why growing up is so painful. Like any risk, growing requires leaving something without having the assurance that the next step is better. If growth were steady, logical and easy to predict, there would be far fewer risks, and more people would find success and happiness in life.
The spiritual path is a path that helps us achieve our goals. When we walk the path back to the source it is important to truly understand what is the purpose of our existence?. As human beings we have a purpose, and this purpose is to know our origin, if that understanding comes early in our lives, every facet will harmonize with the purpose in a strong and clear way, the important thing is to recognize that we have a purpose and what is, and then direct our steps in that direction.
Depending on your particular religion, morals or civics, you have an externally imposed idea of how perfection should look and if it is not up to that, it means that it is failing. For example, if you use phrases like "That's the way things are", "Things are the way they are", "This should not be like that", or a comparison of facts and things comes back to your mind with how they "should be", if they do not agree with your idea of perfection, you conclude that something is wrong. And if you are the one who does not agree with your own standards, you feel that you are failing.
