She didn’t make as much money as her co-workers because her boss had it in for her. Her marriage wasn’t fulfilling because her husband wasn’t romantic enough. Her book wasn’t published because her agent wasn’t working hard enough. Finally, after hearing yet another rant about everything that was wrong in her life, Beth’s friend suggested the common denominator. “Perhaps the problem isn’t everyone else.
