27. You have worth and your life is worth living

You didn’t fail. Circumstances may have been difficult but you did not fail. You gave an effort and your time and energy. Just showing up is half the battle! Maybe that didn’t lead to great success but lack of significant success doesn’t equal failure- lots of room in between!
Lots of things suck right now but life is worth living. Unless you are in intractable pain with no solution, please keep on keeping on.
