Real students of the game <| sep |> You need to remember to focus on what you have done , not what you have failed to do . Even if it is the smallest , most insignificant have done that is just a speck in the bleak and to you insurmountable havenotdone that seems to grow ever larger you ' ve still done it . You ' ve done something and that something , no matter how small , no matter how simple is worth being proud of . Life is building something out of nothing and then building those somethings into something more . You ' re already well on your way you just can ' t see it because you see what everyone else has done and you only see what you have not done . This is fogging your vision , blindsiding you . Having a mood that ' s hung low like a stormcloud isn ' t helping either . And yet . you took the time to reach out to us . You took the time to write out how you ' re feeling , where you come from , where you want to be . You say you have no faith left but it took a faith of a kind to reach out here on this little forum and say , well guys this is how I am feeling , this is what hurts . If you had really lost all the faith , the fight you wouldn ' t have reached out for someone . You yourself have laid the groundwork of your life by all the good , all the bad , all the hopes congratulations , that ' s a step in the right direction already . You ' ve vented , you ' ve released a little steam you ' re well on your way . And guess what ? The storm will pass , like all the bad weather of our lives do . You ' re going to wake up one day and realize you ' ve been under your umbrella when the sun ' s been out all this while . You ' ve already done quite a lot , so much more than many others can say . You ' ve been through so much more than many have been through and you ' ve come out a bruised , but not broken . You ' re going to be okay . Take a deep breath , take a moment . Remember what you have done , not what you have not . Remember who you are and take pride in it . You ' re going to be okay . You ' re going to be okay .
