“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” — Eleanor Roosevelt Have you ever been in that situation where you successfully convinced your friends and family that you were making the right decision on a certain matter? Only for them to see you struggling and failing repeatedly? You know that feeling? I can tell you that it can be really traumatizing.    Do you have a dream that seems like it's getting more impossible to achieve daily? My one question for you today is this: How badly do you want it?  It's easier to teach, read, and learn about patience, perseverance, resilience, tenacity (or whatever you call it), than to actually practice.   Honestly, I can attest to the fact that perpetual failure can really be painful and sometimes humiliating.

(* “Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.” —Mary Kay Ash I have come to discover that self sabotage can show up in different ways in the lives of people.  There are some who are not confident about life because of their body type, height, colour, etc. There are some who have some sort of disability or even health condition that made them develop a negative perspective to life.  You may have also seen people who have similar conditions to yours and are enjoying a different reality.
