I really struggle with this, trying to find meaning in my life, trying to do my best and leading a good life but I don’t think I do enough for all that I do it seems very small and its never enough 
I am always going to be inadequate and I am never going to reach the good place that I want to be and the funny thing is I don’t think its humanely possible for anyone to reach that place where I can say ‘ok, I think you have done enough now’, idk if anyone can get that.
I’ve learned to get rid of expectation and thus I’m not really dissapointed with anything in life. I don’t try to compete or judge my life based on others. My life is different from most but it’s still worthwhile living and I enjoy my life. Perspective is everything.
I just want to do my best but I don’t think it is good enough, its not based on what other people do bc i just push myself based on how I feel to try and get to my optimum performance. I am held back bc of my illness and other factors which i have no control over, its really sucks and i think this is the reason i will never be ‘as good as i want’
I’m sorry to hear you are so hard on yourself.
Try to be nicer to yourself.
Would you be that hard on another person?
Keep doing three positives every day.
It’ll do ya good.
Look on the bright side, you’re well prepared for the emotional component of marriage now.
Yeah, have you heard the saying, “Your can’t rest on your laurels?” I’ve been striving for some things for years, where I can finally sit back and relax and say, “I did it.” But there never is that moment. And like you said, “Life doesn’t stop and it’s hard to coast through life relishing your accomplishments.” There’s a continuous loop of problems and struggles and difficulties that always manifest themselves and get in the way. Life is like a shark, if you quit swimming or striving, you’re going to sink to the bottom.
