[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it's good you posted, and then you can hear people fire back at you. It's important to have a reality check.

If you play the victim card, even to yourself, you perpetuate that state in your life. I've heard how people are "overnight successes" when in reality they failed and failed and failed but never gave up, then boom, because they didn't give up, it happened.

Keep going, working, improving. Yes, it's exhausting. And this is why so many people now just want a free lunch because they don't have the skills and mental fortitude to do what it takes to succeed.

I am watching Dance Life right now. And it epitomizes how hard it is, how it can be unfair, but you have to want it bad enough to keep going and not give up.[/quote]

+1 Success is built upon the back of many failures. OP it sounds like you're still doing quite well. Most people never even apply to Harvard or UVA or for the SES position. Good for you for even getting in the game. I know one person who is so bitter about another friend's successes in the same field, but she never even tried what this other person had to do (and failed and failed then had success) to achieve her goals.

I'm sure there are many other times you got the prize. This is rhetorical, but what college did you go to - did others apply and not get in? How about every job you've been selected for - were you the only applicant? I'm quite sure you've had some successes too.

You're feeling a little defeated right now. That's ok. Lick your wounds and get back in the game.[/quote]
