Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Good for you, - that's exactly the right attitude. It's too easy to get into the trap of thinking we have to be " perfect " . . . but it makes it much too easy to fail, because if we don't keep to perfection then why even bother trying? So I'm really, really glad to hear you self-talking your way out of this funk and back to realizing that you've come a very, very long way and achieved huge things. Keep it up!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Thank you so much. I think I will be fine. I just need to keep reminding myself that Im a success, if not by the #s but by the journey > Good Morning All > > Ive been in a kinda funk, really beating myself up for my 10-15 > bounce back regain.
