what happens if i discover that i suck? i could soul search for years but if something is genuinely wrong with me, what do i do then? i know what i want to do if my core is good, but i'm actually the awful person i suspect that i am...what if i am innately lazy? none of my dreams are possible if i'll always be as slothful as i've been in the past.

I don't know if this will help, but the hardest and most valuable lesson I ever learned was to forgive everyone and not judge them, including myself, for everything and anything. It makes optimism so much easier.

Yes, there IS something wrong with you, and you probably do suck, just like everyone else does. It's really no big deal. That person you wish you could be like? They suck too. They just haven't shown you yet.

It's like Kenny Shopsin once said, "I've spent my entire life trying to teach my children that they're not that terrific."

I didn't see this until now! Sorry max, and thanks for stillvreading after all these years. My friend Teresa introduced me to a theory called "good enough mothering" and how she applies it to her everyday life without being a parent. So I'm trying out what I call "good enough sara-ing". :)
