You know all that stuff in the last post I wrote? It's all true.
That said, magic is our savior, and not just in the long term. It doesn't fix everything all at once, once and for all. It's cumulative and it can take a couple weeks or more to start seeing the effects, but still, if your life is ALL FUCKED UP, then honestly, you really do need to DO SOME MAGIC.
Contemplation of your source puts things into perspective. Once you've got that, turn your gaze to your life and all the shit and start fixing it. Come up with the plan, and put it into action. What powers of the spheres do you need? Get them! Get yourself a spirit from each and put them to work on your behalf! Do it! Do the Magic!
And you never know, sometimes you just might get an instant result that really does fix everything that's bugging the shit out of you. You're guaranteed not to get anything if you don't do something.

Or you might end up being obsessed about "fixing" everything in your life and end up beating yourself up into a magical dead-end (because they exist, and for a reason) or becoming completely burnt-out and unable to go forward, cause in order to yield power you have to have your shit together in the first place, or at least being able to pretend really good for 20 minutes.

Desperation and lusting for results usually grounds all magic in about 2 seconds.
Anyhow, magic is great, but doesn't fix everything, nor it should.
Sometimes you just need psychotherapy, or to man-up and do the job instead of trying to cut corners.
