Hello there. Thank you for the comment.
> I wonder if you are grappling with your lack of "success" in a particular area?
Good question. Mainly I am having a problem with my lack of success in my professional life, and here's the conundrum:
1. Objectively speaking I have come a long way from where I started, most people would say that I am living the American dream.
2. On the other hand while I have achieved "enough" professionally as an employee (education + working for other people), I am not satisfied with my entrepreneurial endeavors. I had 1 win when I was very young (~18 yo) and then nothing ever since, only failures, and I attribute these failures to my own fears that stem from my won Anxiety. To put it simply, I am my own enemy.
Continuing #2 above, it is pervasive in many aspects of my life:
- I start things but I don't finish them
- I have no grit, I give up too soon
- I'm overly concern with what people think/would thing. At the same time I know that it's just BS, people DGAF, but still I can't help with those automatic behaviors and thinking.
I could go on, but I will stop here for now.
> My understanding is ancient, not post-modern. We work hard, enjoy what we have and our grateful for what we have. I do not overly concern myself with other's success. This frees me from a starting point of success/failure.
Good comment. Thank you.
