Don't "hope"
DO

Crazy thought: you could try being GRATEFUL that you recognize this tendency you have to slip into that "poor me" mode....and that you have this opportunity to learn effective ways to pull yourself out of that nosedive before you arrive on the scene of the crash.

But what the heck do I know - you could screw up so badly that you accidently talk yourself into having a better outlook on life in general. Ha! Wouldn't that be a b*tch!?

Missed ya!
