When everything is going well and I am proud of what I am doing, I feel that I finally deserve affection from others and from myself.

However, I always come across a situation that stops me from keeping momentum, or I feel that things are not going as well as I expected.

Feeling that moment of failure, in my personal life, implies stopping what I was doing for myself (as opposed to what happens to me in my work life).

But then again, I’d rather stop completely instead of keep on going, because if I keep on going, it would mean accepting a defeat and a defeat, it is not appreciated by others.

Perhaps that is the key ... not doing things for the opinion of others and doing things because you feel that they are the right thing to do, since in that way, my goal of feeling successful will only be mine and for me.

Is that, perhaps, how you should look at life at all times?
