Indeed, focusing on what is 'right' with you as opposed to what is 'wrong' with you, allows you to move on from the usual hap-hazard routine of misery and failure. Thus, focusing on what's right with you places you in a position, that is easier than you ever knew, to attain that joy and satisfaction in your life.

Experience & Qualifications

Focusing on what is 'wrong' with you, which seems to be a common practice, perpetuates the situation of always "going around the same mountain" for years and years; thereby, never changing your circumstances. This is not to be confused with the 'power of positive thinking',etc.,etc., approach to counseling or coaching. Rather, focusing on what is 'right' would allow everything else to work out in the best way in your life as incredible as this may seem. Justice/success in your life can most likely be attained by not always dwelling on what is wrong. Strengths overcome weaknesses not the habitual other way around. Therefore, I would help you to focus on what is right with you which is where the real effective you seems to be hidden.
