As odd as it may seem, failing is part of succeding. It is a shame that our current education system does not let kids learn from their failures at younger and more pliable ages. No they tell us it is about building self esteem. What a crock and a lie they set us up for.
MsKye you are the only one who can wear your shoes and the more they are used the better you learn the way to walk in them. Please push yourself to ask questions and be open to answers that may not seem fair or even doable. Can you find within yourself the beginings of your insecuritys? Are you allways hearing it is not for you or it is your fault in your everyday endeavours? sp?

Try giving thought to the old saying no pain no gain. The more you confront the deppression freight train the more strength you will gain to derail it's tugging on your weaknesses.

Do you have someone close that can or will give you encouragement? Maybe picture the little Thomas the train and engrain in your thoughts, actions and outcomes, be them goodor not so good that I can, I think I can and soon the phrase will become I know I can.
Bless ya and keep on stepping forward, there will be times when we step back one or two steps. The important part is that when you keep moving forward you will outrun those backward steps and gradually they will become the exception instead of the norm. Basically you are going to remake yourself and do not think for a moment that it cannot be done. It is time to make some new goals and accept nothing that detours you from that finish line. Be assured that once you cross the line you will see more options and avenues available to your chooseing.
The ones that fail usually are the ones who only superfically tried. The only ones who don't fail now and then "failure is a chance to see what went wrong so it can be modified and mastered" are the ones who never tried and accepted those results. You are a winner just because you want results and realize that it is not easy. Accept the challange and do not look back, we get pulled back at times but there is nothing that can hold us there except ourself.
