Chance Chats: Blogs and Podcast

“We never know what in life might happen or what trials we are forced to face. It is how we handle those situations and how we pick ourselves up that mold us into who and what we become later. We need not try to play God with the hand we are dealt.”

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

The one thing I would change about myself is my tendency to dwell on “what if” scenarios. I often find myself imagining the worst-case outcome for every situation, even before anything bad happens. It’s an undesirable trait to have. In the past, I have been known to self-sabotage. I don’t do that as much anymore, but I still struggle with punishing myself. I often think that I don’t deserve good things or that I’m not worthy of them. This isn’t a plea for sympathy. Today has been particularly challenging for my mental health. This has been an ongoing struggle for most of my life. Thanks, Dad.
