Feeling bad can be reduced or eliminated.
I have been feeling bad all of my life, often. I get bad feelings from not doing better. Or, other people not doing better. I get hurt feelings way too often. I feel undeserved shame all too often. I feel deprived. And so on.
My career has been like a train wreck.
There is a close connection between my messed-up career and my tendency to feel bad.
Recently, I came to believe that I can control my bad feelings. I don't have to frolic in my feelings, when I think about the cost. I hate to admit, that along with realizing that I can limit my bad feelings, I realized that lack of humility feeds them and makes them grow. How dare they do that to me? Who do they think they are? I'm not going to do a project because I am afraid I won't do it perfectly. Why is everybody always picking on me?
The bad feelings impede living a successful life. They hamstring me. They do no good at all.
Why didn't I do this earlier? I wasn't ready. Now I have a whole lifetime to review what has happened.
