Wow Andrea! I know I have no clue who you are but am feeling similar to you. I too am 49 and feel as though I have no purpose and lack of self worth. I admire your courage in making such a huge change in your life…I wish you well. Sending you all good positive thoughts for much success to come for you.

I desperately need to! My marriage of 23 years just ended. I’ve lost friendships. I am negative and unmotivated about my job. Every single day and almost every moment in it…I struggle. While reading your steps and strategies to do so, I get motivated. However, my mind starts telling me I can’t live a happy, peaceful life. That these strategies are for others, people better than I, and that they just need to adjust their thinking because the core of who they are is good. My thoughts tell me, the core of who I am, isn’t good. I’m broken and the person I am is so flawed, there’s no way I can ever find joy. I resist trying because I convince myself, if I take the necessary steps and apply these strategies daily, it won’t work on me and I’ll end up even more hopeless.
BUT…I KNOW I have to battle those thoughts or eventually, I will lose everyone and everything I love. Today I will begin and take the necessary steps…I have a glimmer of hope. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Dear Christian – I share many of your ‘issues’ also……I am totally a negative thinker. Not good enough, never will be, nothing will ever change, why bother??? I live a miserable life and know it is from my ‘stinkin’ thinkin’ . . . I just cant seem to believe in myself. Although I read marc and angel – I don’t ever feel like their solutions can help me. Basically, I can only help myself, I just don’t believe I can do it. Good luck to you!

I was always very loving, giving, happy and trusting.

One day I noticed I wasn’t so happy anymore, I was much more cautious with my love, trust and giving. I had been hurt once too often, been lied to once too often, I had been betrayed by family and “friends” once to often, so I must have started closing off my heart to protect myself from further pain, grief and anguish.
I couldn’t take anymore so I shut myself down little by little.
I get angry a lot and over sometimes small things.
I guess subconsciously I worry it’s gonna hurt again.

A few weeks ago I got really angry with my husband and son over their negative talk, so I went for a walk in the dark of night, I tripped over something and broke my leg. My leg is in a cast now, While I was waiting for X-rays I had time to think. My thoughts were “I have Anger Issues and I need to talk to someone about ME”

When I listened to you explain about that Orange – I knew it was me. I had somehow allowed myself to be filled with anger and resentment, and it had replaced my gentle and loving, caring nature. Thank you Angel for helping me. That’s great Therapy.
Thanks.

I can’t make it to your seminar for various reasons.
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Old Man Winter is knocking on our doors here. I save your messages to a special file to share with others who may need some advice.

And I know I have to stay positive, but where is the positive when your wife and best friend of over 20 years decide to sneak behind my back and in front and everywhere else in between to have their tryst? And sure she ended it, but where does that leave me? No, so called friend (he was like a brother to me), childhood full of memories with him ruined, the last year of my life a lie (since she was with him for all that time)…

I completely know the feeling of feeling victimized. I have a boss who thrives off putting me down and picking my work apart. I try to think of it as her way of teaching me however, by Friday the negative comments get to me and months of this really has zapped my energy and confidence. I don’t sleep much on Sunday night’s stressed about coming to work on Monday.

Reading this article and hearing the video is exactly what I need right now. I have the power to change things, not her actions, but mine.

Thank you Marc and Angel. I look forward to your daily articles, they are very uplifting and inspiring.

Confession: I print a majority of your articles and tape them to my frig, bedroom and bathroom mirror. 🙂

Dede,
I once woke up every day thinking about my relationships and how I feel I have been victimized by my friends because of my overly kind heart.

But making a ritual of reading Marc and Angel’s emails and articles have helped me to start redefining my relationships and putting in place positive boundaries so I don’t become a victim in my relationships again.

Now… I am working on myself so I can earn the respect and love of my friends, and not their sympathy.

Wow!!
Way to go Mr. and Mrs. Mike Alison!!
I am very happy in my stationery home and city but so agree with the whole simplify thinking.
Being content where I am has allowed me to collect a LOT of unnecessary clutter!
It does affect our mindset!
So….although I am very happy in my little corner of the world I am taking inspiration from Marc and Angel and Mike and Mrs. A. 🙂
God bless you all!!
Marg
Brandon MB Canada! ?

PS
I am one of those blessed people who has been in a career for 32 years and I still don’t feel like I’ve ‘worked’!!

I am starting a new chapter in my life right now at 49 years old. It’s scary and I tend to worry constantly about whether or not I’m making the right decision. I’m leaving my husband of 24 years, starting a new job in a city 300 miles away from the town I grew up in and also leaving a good man I met at work in my old job who I fell in love with. Sounds crazy but I feel I am doing what is best for me right now. I need to do this for whatever reason I don’t know why. It’s like a new beginning I guess. My husband was abusive, controlling and mean to me and my kids, my old job was mentally and physically exhausting with no opportunity for advancement. The new man in my life is great but I want to start focusing on me and my self worth and self esteem. Your articles help me tremendously! I save them and I send them to my kids. I envy the relationship you 2 have with each other! You both are really blessed and I’m happy for you!

It would be such a relief to wake up each day and be confident that my efforts were paying off and that people respected my leadership.
