Ultimate Guide to close the gap between your current self and ideal self.

But rewinding back to reality we feel that we are nowhere near to those goals.Our current self is far from our desired self because we are far from it in many aspects.
We feel a drop in our motivation and gives hopelessness of being unable to achieve our goals.This idea of current and ideal self was introduced by Carl Roger a central figure in human psychology.
