Everything is "self-pitying" and "sulking". Instead of whipping people for not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, why not focus MORE on what people can do (more examples, more concrete steps). Despair isn't something to be dismissed lightly, buddy. You seem to have a real problem with suffering. Everything is “self-pitying” and “sulking”.

I personally feel it helps alot of people in overcoming their fears and just jump into the desire and action in getting what they want. I guess this is a very important subject to discuss. Keep up the great work on this blog and two thumbs up! Please visit my personal and motivational blog at www.PursuitOfSuccess.com and let me know what you think. Cheers!

Sometimes the biggest hurdle in a problem is the steps to overcome, other times it is simply moving towards accurately understanding the problem. This one falls into the latter category, so it is more food for thought than concrete steps. Although much of personal development is changing the way you act, a great deal more is changing the way you think. Despair definitely isn't something to be dismissed lightly. The answer isn't to just 'suck it up' and pull yourself up by your bootstraps, I never want to leave that impression. But by understanding where that despair is coming you can move to the first steps towards removing it. Anonymous,

Despair definitely isn’t something to be dismissed lightly. The answer isn’t to just ‘suck it up’ and pull yourself up by your bootstraps, I never want to leave that impression. But by understanding where that despair is coming you can move to the first steps towards removing it.
