The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.  -Ben Okri

Frame your thoughts like this -- you are an old person, you won't let yourself be enslaved by this any longer, no longer pulled like a puppet by every impulse and you'll stop complaining about your present fortune or dreading the future.  

My life has been mostly crap - I am the happiest RIGHT NOW that I have EVER been - this work business is just a short-term obstacle and it is nothing compared to what I have had to endure to get to where I am - and sticking around and doing the best I can on my goal will make the difference between a part time or full time job post-retirement.  I can do this - this is my authentic self - defined:  

• Striving to align actions with core values and beliefs.
• Discovering and acting in sync with one's true self.
• A lifelong journey of self-discovery and self-expression.
• Having the courage to be oneself fully and unapologetically.
• Ensuring thoughts, words, and actions match each other.
