'Assisted by my ever-faithful black dog of sadness, I came to the conclusion that the only thing that I had truly mastered was — insert teary-eyed emoticon — screwing up. Messing up. Bungling, misjudging, miscalculating… you get the idea.'
So this seemed the time to take stock of my life and history — at 50-something, there was a lot of history upon which to reflect — looking for some forgotten, overlooked skill… and the result wasn’t pretty. Even my ficus wasn’t looking all that healthy anymore.
Over the decades, I had managed to fail at a marriage, a couple of careers, multiple friendships, and countless smaller endeavors. There were the forgotten birthdays, the missed appointments, the, the mishandled opportunities. Hastily spoken words that caused mortal offense. At some point, I had disappointed, offended, or angered pretty much everyone I knew. A lifetime of mistakes.
Know yourself. Know your worth. It’s hard to like someone you don’t trust, and it’s hard to like yourself if you don’t trust yourself.As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
