I do not disagree with anything you are saying, I am simply being honest with myself and what I want. You mention missing the big picture, but that is exactly what we will do if we are not honest about what we want and what we want to achieve. Yes, we need to focus on ourselves and the changes we make need to be genuine. If they are not, you are 100% right, they will not last. But what IS the big picture? For me, it is doing those things I know I need to do to fix myself, with an ultimate goal of saving my M. Let’s not forget that part.

I do not believe I am setting myself up for disappointment, because, realistically my expectations are almost zero. I keep hope, I try to be positive, I try to be an optimist, but I know my chances of saving this M are slim. That is not going to keep me from trying. And I am not going to base my goals off of fear that I might not achieve them.

I am going to keep on truckin’. I am going to continue to work on myself. I am going to keep hope. I will not fear failure.
