I've found myself in something of a funk lately, I've been having trouble finding motivation to work on new content, I've been exhausted from a job that's full of frustrations, and I feel I've been disappointing everyone in my life, including myself. It's very easy when things seem to be going wrong to let those feelings carry you away.
Don't let that happen.
When you screw up, try again. If you still screw up, move on to something else, find something you can succeed at, no matter how long it takes. No matter how seemingly endless the series of failures is, keep working until you succeed. Then ride that success into the next and turn your life around.
Advice is good and well, but not easy to follow. The other day I found myself spiraling into one of those cycles of bitterness and despair. You fail enough, you convince yourself not to try. You stop trying, you never succeed. It's hard to drag yourself up. But do it anyway. Shia LaBeouf that crap and JUST DO IT!
Despair is a brutal master, and there is no quick deliverance. It saps your energy and drains your strength. You become helpless and hopeless. Flip the script. Turn your weakness into your strength. Take what has you down and use it to your benefit. Use your mistakes to fuel your drive to be better. Recycle the ugly and make it beautiful.
This is your life. Achieve your goals, find your way. You've got this.
