I try to distract myself constantly with random hobbies and good company, while avoiding the real issue. I guess the fear of actual failure seemed more damaging to me than the constant failure I lived everyday by never even trying. And after all the wasted weeks…months…ok, years.. I now beg for that feeling of failure if that failure means that at least I tried, at this point, tried at all. My comment dragged on a little longer than I intended, but thank you for that inspirational quote and thank you to the writers of this blog.
I do loving kindness practice, which begins with loving oneself and gradually extends to loving those close to you, those you feel neutral about, and finally even those who annoy and irritate you or who you may see as an enemy. Remember, you create the world you live in. Everyone and everything in your life you have drawn to you. What you choose to do with them is up to you. Great advice in this post.

The one I tend to struggle with the most is I tend to be a bit too serious and hard on myself at times. A good place to start today is to lighten up, have fun and spend more time with the people who have a great sense of humor. Laughter is the best medicine. I really find your articles useful and and always look forward to them dropping into my inbox.
I too have shared this on my FB business page and sent the article to some of my clients who I know will resonate with the message. Your posts are always well written and thought out, but this one was phenomenal! I actually got a stack of index cards and took notes. So many of us have this false sense of being in the world, to satisfy our parents and society, but it does not make us happy. Making everyone else happy and not self, kills the spirit. For me number 6 and 12 are the focal points. I know the changes I need to make, but I am letting my own schedule get in the way.
There is time enough, but I over book the week and literal recover on the weekends. As for 12, all things are NOT possible if you do not get off your duff and proactively engage. All things then become possible, and when you engage things become probable…which is much better than possible. Too often we spend time trying to be everything to everyone… and everyone else beside ourselves. I am just figuring out who I am after years of being afraid to embrace myself and to love myself, faults and all.
Thanks for this post. If you cant live WITH yourself.. Then how can you expect someone else to live with you…I believe that you are best to others when you are first and foremost at best living WITH yourself.. I love your writings.

Thank you for this article , Marc! At present I am stuck in my ethnic community in Australia, and have been throughout my teenage years and youth. So, this has had an enormous negative impact on my life in the past 20 years. I feel imprisoned, in a vicious cycle: I am being isolated like a leper, and yet they want me around, as a measuring stick, so that they feel better about their pathetic lives!

Finding Self-Worth: How to make better decisions in life… automatically
Mine tends to resemble my mother's in a lecturing mode. People get into trouble because they try so hard to be perfect and then they beat themselves up when they're not. Loving yourself means accepting that you're stuck inside your own imperfect skin. Schwartz recommends this exercise to start forgiving yourself: For starters, that means accepting the body that you have today.
Self-acceptance also means accepting your income and success level as they are, she says. Instead, she recommends asking yourself a simple question: This may be easier said than done, but avoid tying yourself to clients, business partners, investors, or employees who make you unhappy.
