Don't be a f***** quitter. Don't say you give up. You are in a stage of emotional grief over something you think you can't control, you are not done. You call yourself a failure, well me too. I've got lungs of a 55 year old smoker at the age of 35, my hearing is gone, I'm going to need knee replacements in the next 10 years, I'm over weight and i'm going bald. I grew up without a dad, my mom was never around I've failed at college, I failed at boot camp, I failed in what was at the time the most meaningful relationship of my life and yet here I am. I graduated from college, I was meritoriously promoted in boot camp, and I've been married for over 10 years, I'm back in the gym with a trainer killing it. I failed, I'm going to fail again, but the ultimate failure is not learning from my mistakes, and realizing that I am my own worst enemy and also my biggest champion.
Stop trying to blame your issues on something larger than yourself, because ultimately you are the one making it a problem.
Here is the good news, people are here to help. You need to realize that if you ask for it, people will step up to help, but you need to be ready to accept it.
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”
