Not by a long shot! You are just experiencing what untold millions experience each and every day. You do not have to achieve on a daily basis nor do you have to have a myriad of accomplishments to let others know your worth or your capabilities. You are unique and you are special - if right now that seems like a lot of "padding" then suppose this concept.

Without setbacks and without bad luck, would you stop trying - would you lower your standards, and could it be that you would not aim so high but become content with status quo - everything going just way you say and without any complications, or diversions. Pretty dully and boring if you ask me.

Challenges give birth to opportuniteis and opportunities in turn give free reign to creativity, ability and very act of reaching out, beyond, and further yet.

Apathy can become a part of life when things are going great as well as when hope is lost and everything is left to abandonment.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG WITHOUT PILLS OR POTIONS

by Doug C. Grant

Here's an anti-aging success secret that's virtually at your fingertips.

It works almost instantly to make you feel younger, relaxed, stress-free and happier.

CARE TO GIVE IT A TRY? DO THIS!

Take a paper and pen and write word "joy". Look at it. Write it again. Look at it some more. Write it a few more times

Now examine yourself. Notice small upsurge in spirit you've experienced. Nothing wahoo. No fireworks or ground trembling. But there's a definite mood swing toward positive.

That's power of a written word...a word that you write. Which brings us to anti-aging secret.

YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD OF JOURNALING

That's process of putting your thoughts down on paper. Perhaps you've always considered it an intellectual's past time. Or maybe you think it's too much of a bore and bother. Besides, you doubt if any of your thoughts are worth putting on paper.

BACK UP AND TAKE A SECOND LOOK

Journaling is one of most powerful 'feel-good' tools you own. When properly used, it can be a great alternative to pills and potions.

However, Empowered Maturity approach overwrites many of unwritten rules for Journaling.. And herein lies its effectiveness. Consider these differences. 1. You can use any old notebook or even just a piece of paper. (I like to use those small 'class-note' booklets available at any discount store. My wife prefers full size spiral notebooks. The thicker better.)

2. Never write for posterity. I seldom ever read past entries. They belong to yesterday. That's because I'm not keeping a diary or record of events. I'm primarily writing about feelings.
