Lessons learned

One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that good things start with self esteem. You need to have confidence in yourself – who you are and what your life is about. It will carry you though your challenges of your life whether it's a career or relationship crisis, or something else that's been handed to you through fate.
To gain confidence you first need to recognise yourself as an individual. It's about being your own best friend. Don't be so critical of yourself. It doesn't mean you have to be a braggart and say 'I'm the best' but rather "I'm working towards that goal".
A defeatist attitude can get sewn into your fabric early in life if you don't watch it. There are worldly achievements and there are achievements just for yourself, which may be about treating yourself better, getting a new set of friends, or getting a job that feels right. Fulfillment is what we're all looking for. I think it is a lifetime search and it changes as we get older.
It's difficult to allow things to happen, but it's important to be aware of making them happen. It's a fine line but a sense of self will always guide you.
