Just being "hungry" and diving head first into things.
I don't think that's the best way to handle things.
Unless you want to fail a lot, before you succeed.
I like this quote:
I like your story, too. Very similiar to myself.
But I know d*mn well not to talk about it here.
Why? Because I will not get a lot of empathy here.
They will rip my story apart, just like they did with yours.
It's the wrong message to the wrong crowd.
You couldn't be more wrong my friend. A year or two ago I was a few minutes away from jumping off a bridge (literally), and I decided to vent my anger and frustrations at my life, right on here to everyone on the forum. I listed my failures, my shortcomings, my perceived weaknesses/handicaps. I held absolutely nothing back.
And I received so much support (even sometimes in the form of criticism), that I was never the same again. Not only did my story elicit empathy, but it allowed people an opportunity to share their own stories, and I couldn't believe some of the intimate details shared. It was incredible, and a life changing moment to realize that I wasn't alone in this fight.
The difference was that I wanted to change. And they knew it too. And in the end I did.
The thread can still be found here (I think there's more than 1).
I still live a block or two away from the bridge. I cross it twice a day.
