Nothing works perfectly the first time, or the first fifty times. Everything has a learning curve. The beginning is just that - a beginning. Surrender your desire to do it flawlessly on the first try. It's not possible. Learn to learn. Learn to fail. Learn to learn from failing. And begin today. Begin now. Stop waiting.","author":"Vironika Tugaleva","tags":["failure","flawless","learning","mistakes","perfect","perfection","perfectionism","prcrastinate","procrastination","self-sabotage","surrender"],"id":29743,"author_id":"Vironika+Tugaleva"},{"text":"I think it’s pretty common to hold onto people, to bribe them with things, say, a body, in the hopes of keeping them from leaving you. I don’t think it’s uncommon to invert such behaviors, to become something unlovable, in an effort to speed up the process of the inevitable. Fighting is an instinct. So is running. Everybody knows how to destroy a good thing. It’s easy.","author":"Kris Kidd","tags":["heartbreak","manipulation","self-sabotage"],"id":53743,"author_id":"Kris+Kidd"},{"text":"You can’t imagine just how much believing in negative thoughts is affecting your life…until you stop.","author":"Charles F.

The simple part of achieving success is that it just takes work. For me, staying focused on my goals and envisioning my dreams every day, makes the work flow almost on its own.The hard part is the mindset, and to not self sabotage, because you don’t believe in yourself. We often think we can’t achieve our wildest dreams or that we are somehow incapable, and then we never, ever take that first step.I never felt that I was a very confident person, but with the support of some wonderful people and my own inner fire, I kept going. The hardest part after working and working, was to actually accept that I deserved success.Success in itself is kind of scary too, as it comes with having to be responsible, and not flake out. The people who have supported you and invested in you deserve that.I guess what I am trying to say is that if you want something, you have to take action. A little step towards it every day. Then there is a reason to feel accomplished every day. Match your energy and vibration with what you envision. Believe. You deserve success, so go for it.","author":"Riitta Klint","tags":["confidence","deserve-happiness","deserve","hard-work","realize-your-dreams","self-sabotage","success","vibrational-energy"],"id":105730,"author_id":"Riitta+Klint"},{"text":"There is stability in self-destruction, in prolonging sadness as a means of escaping abstractions like happiness. Rock bottom is a surprisingly comfortable place to lay your head. Looking up from the depths of another low often seems a lot safer than wondering when you'll fall again.
