Emotional Wasteland

Been doing a lot of thinking lately about who I am, where I want to go in life and how I'm supposed to get there. I seem to be however, stuck in this whirlpool of...[self doubt]? I'm not sure exactly. I fear that if I don't find a ray of light soon, the path I'm on could have the potential to turn into a harmful one. How do you break the patterns of self defeating behavior? I know true strength blossoms from the inside and blooms outward. I only need to find my seed of strength.
