    I have let that person die many times, but she keeps resurrecting. It's not that I don't know I'm the one impeding me, but not matter what I do, I can't shake it. For example, I have a PhD from Stanford that says that I should feel good about what I can do. But I still feel as pointless as everything around me.

    This one is really inspiring. It just made me realize that everything is possible. We can do it as long as we believe in ourselves.:)

    A relationship with God and your family forms the relationship you have with yourself.

    Sorry kids but next time you'e "staring at the blank page before you" and actually thinking all you have to do is fill it in with your desires, you will get a big suprise. The page isn't empty. Like it or not you have many limitations, physical, mental, intellectual, financial and socially just to name a few. Just because you can believe it doesn't mean it's gonna happen. Remember what the wise man said, "Until you spread your wings, you'll never know how far you can walk" (pic of a penguin trying to fly underneath) I went to college, worked out every day, read every book and took every course from EST to "The secret". I don't drink or smoke, Ive meditated for years and treated everyone I ever knew like a best friend. Im the hardest working person Ive ever met, Im also kind, good looking and talented. Here's the kicker... Ive sufferered from horrible panic attacks for decades, been fired numerous times under extremely weird circumstances and been homeless twice. Life has knocked my feet out from underneath me and sabataged me every chance it got. I think it's called karma and no matter what you do you can't get away from it. Go ahead and reach for the stars... but don't think for a minute it's gonna be easy. Ive never found happiness. Never been married, never done anything I ever dreamed of and you know why?? Because sometimes life just kicks you in the head. Good luck chasing your dreams... I hope you get there, I really do but if you can't you'll just have to deal with it my friends, just like the rest of us. I expect a full refund when I die and no matter what anybody says, I'm never gonna do this "human being" thing again!

    Don't let your life be framed by self doubt and low self esteem. No one of us is perfect.....we ALL have issues to be dealt with...every single one of us!!! You are unique in the universe....remember that. If you need help to conquer your fearsand attain insight find a good therapist. I searched for many years before the right one appeared. I was absolutely ready for her, and into my life she arrived. The change has been remarkable, and I am finally at peace (I had suffered for most of my life with what the same feelings are dealing with now, so I can truly empathize with you. I don't know how old you are, but it is never too late to change. If you would like to write to me, I will most definitely answer.....my heart aches for you. Thank you for sharing your story. Namaste, Marion

    A very appropriate message for me at this time in my life and I thank you for sharing. Looking into my own mirror I see a woman who has overcome a lot in life so far. Changes are in the works for a better life that I embrace totally. This reinforces my abilities and strengths. A new life full of what my heart desires is now present and keeps me focused. The future is full of good and positive feelings. My new life is happening and I am finally becoming the person I was meant to be. Getting to the place where my life journey has traveled for so long. A place of peace and acceptance. A place that I deserve. Blessings,D.

    Having been incontinent all my life, I can relate well to the story. Feeling sorry for myself in my younger days, but kicked myself in the butt and moved on. Always trying new products and trying to keep a positive perspective on my life.

    I too had got the same email long ago, and I still remember it.. Its so true, it is our thought and belief systems that set a limit to our capabilities.

    I use either but always wondered which was correct. Perhaps it differs in different countries. Like in the USA 'Z' gets used a lot more than in words here. eg Socialize vs socialise.
