It's great to read your thought provoking posts. It's not all going to be sunshine and flowers. There is going to be storms and thistles along the way. This may be true for others but I am speaking for myself in thinking the bad or stormy times when you arent having a good time feel like failure in your path. And it's discouraging. I look to a cartoon my kids watch when I feel discouraged at my "failure". There is a line. From failure you learn, from success not so much... It's great when things are going well and it makes it all seem easy and ok. When it's not going well instead of lingering in it look at yourself and think about what you can do to learn from this. What could have you done differently to avoid the thistles. Or what can you do to get past them and walk in the flowers again.
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
