We strive so hard as a people to achieve our "dreams" and goals that we set for ourselves at to excel at home front/workplace/relationships so that we and our spouse,children,friends or extended family can get the best out of life.Nevertheless, the search for closure in this regard has proved illusive for many.That is why you see so many of us putting up a front ,acting like "everything is fine" when in actual fact "everything" is out of control" if not totally lost.


Everyone go through some form of stress or destabilizing of the status quo in one's "normal" daily routine at the home front,work place, schools, communities or personal/individual relationships. But when you are overwhelmed to the extent that you cannot cope with your "normal" routine, to the extent that it interfairs negatively with your daily routine then something is not right.
