Believing That Self-Neglect Will Bring Love
Many internalizers subconsciously believe that neglecting oneself is a sign of being a good person. When self-absorbed parents make excessive claims on their children’s energy and attention, they teach them that self-sacrifice is the worthiest ideal—a message that internalizing children are likely to take very seriously. These children don’t realize that their self-sacrifice has been pushed to unhealthy levels due to their parents’ self-centeredness.
Fear Magnifies Challenges Mentally
Do not let failure be an option. Do not be afraid of anything, including fear of failure itself. It is not failure itself but fear of failure that is the biggest obstacle on the path to success in a Christian’s life. Failure makes us stronger, more flexible, and more decisive, but fear of failure paralyzes one’s thoughts and actions and hinders us from doing the things required to make it on the way to success. One young reporter asked Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM, how he became successful. Mr. Watson answered, “Would you like me to give you a formula for… success? It’s quite simple. Double your rate of failure.” Success is on the other side of failure, so dare to move forward.

Take a Minute, It's The Little Things That Matter | Opinion
Nowadays, it seems like 24 hours just isn't enough time to complete tasks anymore. For instance, I used to wake up at about 5 am, run out the door at 5:20 am then start my 1.5-hour commute to my current construction site in Fort Lee, NJ. Once I arrived for my 7 am start time, I worked for 10 hours because I had to get that sweet, sweet overtime, then hopped back in my work truck for the 1.5-hour commute home. Once I got home, it was usually already around 7 pm. That left me right around 4 hours to do my daily routine of cooking a quick meal, doing a few projects, spending time with friends and family - or at least trying to - and going to the gym. Some days it feels almost impossible to accomplish all these tasks, and the only thought that keeps me trudging along is the sweet relief that the weekend brings.
