Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. It meant so much to me because I know how hard it is to reach out to others, even if it is only to say happy birthday when we are struggling so ourselves.
“We must commit to learning from our mistakes, rather than beating ourselves up, or we’re destined to make the same mistakes in the future” Anthony Robbins
The rest is a bit Anthony Robbins mixed in with my own thoughts. Also, talking to myself as well as to you. I wanted to post to you Saturday morning, but I didn’t have internet access, so I wrote to in my journal instead. This is what I wrote.
What can we learn from this? This short-term setback may even be a gift in disguise if we use it to make better decisions in the future. Rather than focus on the short-term setback, choose instead to learn lessons that will save you money and pain in the future. Instead of asking why, why, we need to ask ourselves what have we learned and what can we do so we don’t make the same mistake again.
There are no failures, Just results. We can do this, P. This is only a setback. Hopefully, next time the outcome will be different. No matter what, we need to keep moving in the right direction. You have come so far, P. I think more than you realize. Hang in there. Brighter days are on the way.
It is time, P. We have both messed up. I for one have messed up big time! What are we going to do about it? I don’t think either one of us is ready to throw in the “recovery” towel, so what choice do we have but to keep on fighting! Wishing you a gamble-free day. Make it a good one!
I feel like this is the end of the line for me, too, P. I have to make recovery work this time. I just have too! I hope we can both look back on today as our turning point
