You are who you are and who you are is who you've got. I've got me, period.
Too many people worry about too many problems that's not even their own, they make it their's. It is so hard for people to mind their own business so they stick their nose into other peoples business.
In a world surrounded by a universe that's big and never ending, it's time to focus on what's actually going on right in front of you. Why go searching for issues when issues is part of life, everyones, meaning we've all got ours.
There's a time and a place for everything, just hold on and your time will come.

Failing winners
It is so easy to think that failing a task means you're failing yourself. How often isn't it that we associate one assignment with the long life-dream? (Or maybe it's the neurotic me who's thinking hehe). Nevertheless, we forget what we've actually learned on our way to failing. All those new experiences, revelations and abilities that have been gained, aren't they the point of it all? Because, lets face it failing is normal, it's bound to happen today or tomorrow. What matters is how well you catch up on the lesson learned.
I recall several assignments that have been due for various schoolwork and the (in hindsight) unecessary meltdown when things didn't go as planned. You're asked to do a certain thing, then when you can't fulfill all of the requirements in the way you thought the teacher wanted you too (because you've already made the assumption that it should be perfect), you automatically think you've failed. But, don't forget the fact that you actually reached the goal. Maybe not in the perfect matter you had planned but you still got the job done. When you find yourself in this state, think about all that you have gained as you worked towards the goal. New knowledge, new ways of learning (faster and more efficient ways) and what to do when things go bad. All this you take in and learn for the next task, because we all know that tasks never end in life.
One problem people will always come across when doing tasks, is where to set the expectation bar, for yourself and what others may expect of you. Setting expectations isn't difficult, reaching them is another issue. Knowing yourself and your range of achievement is key. A matter of perception and understanding. Only then will we know that failing isn't the end of the world. Under the dark covers of insufficiency lies pieces of a puzzle for you to work out. These pieces represent newfound abilities and knowledge about yourself to help you as you form your own path to success.

What's meant to be...

A fallen star
We were once children, innocent little children who believed in fairy godmothers, ghosts and whitches.The belief of that anything is possible is greatest in the mind of a child, for imagination is what fuels them. Let's keep the child inside of us alive by reminding ourselves where we started out.
- I remember the days when it was snowing outside, mom had just finished the cookies we liked, the house was smelling as if Christmas had arrived and dad cuddling up in the sofa next to us. A video of Robin Hood, Pochahontas, Scooby-Doo or Tom&Jerry would make me feel less weary. For in that moment, time and space, it was as if nothing could ever hurt me.

The essence
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
