Hi Gray. I just came to your article through the Ninja Academy slack channel. I have to say that it sounds like you are doing fairly well in life and the only person’s opinion that counts is yours. Of course, most of us criticize ourselves more than others do, but you need to think whether you are as critical of others as you are of yourself. If not, what makes you so special. Someone once asked me that question and my response was, “ Well I know better and …” They then said, “So, you are so much better than everyone else you aren’t allowed to make any mistakes?” I was flabbergasted, but it did put things into perspective for me and I am no longer so hard on myself. I hope this year is a good one for you.
