Re: Stress and low self esteem.

Hi there. Hey, nobody is good at everything. Some people just aren't athletic, so what? It seems to me that your writing skills are excellent. Are you really 14? The reason I am asking you this is because I read so much from people much older than you that cannot spell or show the same level of gram...

Re: Secretly seeking people's approval

You are seeking approval because you are feeling apprehensive about taking your own risks. This is what academics teach people,, which unfortunately has nothing to do with real life. We learn best by making mistakes. Now, I am not saying you should strive to make mistakes that may put other people's...

Re: The Key to Productivity - Happiness

Happiness is all nice and sweet, but many people have no idea what makes them happy. I personally find it much more convincing and realistic to say that the key to productivity is personal motivation. If you are a highly motivated individual, you will do the work you need to do to accomplish whateve...

Re: Where did I go wrong to be working in a sewer

Awesome comment, Richard! Yes, you can see from what is happening in so many countries, how slow governments address let alone solve the true needs of people. It is the exact same with the educational system, which in some cases is guided by the government and in others is not, and yet in others it ...

Re: Can we start a career at 40?

40 is nothing. I am 40 and was a professionally trained musician for 30 years, then became a registered nurse, then I added my own real estate investment business, online marketing business and coaching business. If I can do this, you can, too, and even more. And you will have to learn some people s...

Re: Please help, close to the end

Meditation and diet change are great, and there are also excellent naturopathic doctors that help people get rid of anxiety when no pills help. Acupuncture is another great way to relax and since it works not only with endorphins but also at the neurotransmitter level, it may make that whole numbnes...

Re: Never met anyone in my situation.

Art is a wonderful, powerful way to express your pain to the world. And not only your pain, but also your amazing perseverance and ability to withstand whatever comes your way. You have been through so much already, do you really not think you can convey strong emotions with your art that will engag...

Re: thinking emotionally

Create a mental plan (or write it out first), as to what thoughts come through your mind in specific situations. That is a really cool exercise. Recognize the destructive patterns and replace those with thoughts that you believe are more beneficial. Realize that it is hardest to apply such a plan wh...

Re: Still here

If you move out and are excited about the possibility of meeting someone else, that is completely your right. And she has the same right, so fearing she may do this is a possessive instinct that you need to let go of, if you are to start a new life yourself. I would humbly like to offer that the cou...

Re: Fed up with the way things are going

If you are not happy with what you have achieved, even if it sounds like a great deal of achievement, that means that there is something missing, and you have control over it . Normally, people will not despair over things they can't control Nobody gets upset that the sun rises or sets, right? I kno...

Re: Everything looks impossible

Laureat, what is it that you want for yourself and your daughter? There are always small and big things we want. But we have to make them happen, and that is really exciting. Do you know what makes you happy? Most people have no clue, really, which is why they have no goals. It really doesn't have t...

Re: How has my life come to this?

Twisterella, what exactly do you think you deserve in your life, your relationship, your work? What are your goals with regards to these three very important aspects of self-esteem and self-confidence? Do you think you deserve to be taken for granted? It seems to me that you are hurt by his behavior...

Re: I am still seeking my mother's approval

I am sorry you are feeling this way, Petakash, I can only imagine how hard this must be for you. Look, you can still be the better person by showing respect while you are standing your ground. You have not insulted her like she has insulted you, so you are at a different level already. You've shown ...

Re: I am still seeking my mother's approval

Standing your ground is not only important with parents and close friends, but also at work, in a business, or if you are sick and at the mercy of doctors in a hospital. You are your own best advocate. Being treated like this by a parent is very hurtful, and this is why it is even more of an achieve...

Re: I am still seeking my mother's approval

You are doing great, Petakash! Once you take the first step, there is no reason not to be able to do the second step, third step, and however many steps you want to take. What you are telling yourself are positive affirmations towards your ability to build the life you want. This is exactly how succ...
