Yes I'm 41yrs old & I feel the same way!! Very powerful!!!

[@nicsilvestroni9221]

Del du : can I ask you that : are you still feeling that you need to achieve more something in your life with your age? Please do not feel offended with my question : it’s a genuine question . Because I am around that age and I feel like I am old sometimes and I cannot do anything myself like my teenage time..! Is that because I am a single parent with lots of responsibilities towards my 10 year old kid, his education & school, taking care of house every day, going to work at nights which I hate to work at nights, but I have no other option at the moment: 3 night shifts each week sucking all my energy level in daily basis .. So, I feel like I can’t concentrate myself and my well being at the moment as I need to do lots of other priorities every single day! This situation making me feel like I am always lazy or tired .. One day, I really want to do something nice for me and make a good carrier (better post ) etc. But , I don’t know if my life or God give me any chance for it !

I literally cried after watching this. I have been applying for a position at a very well reputable company for the last six years and have lost. I interview extremely well and have a very impressive resume. I interviewed a month ago and was told that I was a strong candidate and had an impressive background, but they were interviewing other candidates. When I tell you my spirit broke, it broke me. But I’m not going to give up.

[@lesleykramer7207]

Maybe, the message is to start your own company?

[@mvwww]

Don't give up. The next time will be your best time

[@lisetteintheclouds7268]

Nette , Don’t Give up. You can do this, it you really want the job you have to keep showing up no mater what. They will see that you are the right one for the job. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

This gave me so much motivation. That i’m not fearing to fail. Of course I will fail, but I will learn the lesson and keep moving no matter how many times I have failed. Because regret is worse than giving up.

[@EmilyPruitt-g9g]

This remains one of my favorite speeches. I heard it for the first time in 2020, newly graduated with my bachelor's degree, and shaking in my proverbial boots, applying to jobs, and feeling like I would never find a job. I went back to my serving job and felt like I was living out the stereotype of every joke about English majors becoming baristas and never finding a "real" job. I was eating humble pie...or at least I thought so at the time. Really, it was just the start of pacing myself. I started writing for an automotive blog and then - fast forward 4 years - I'm now working as a writer in Internal Communications for a large company. I have bigger dreams, but even having a job in my field and paying my own bills felt like an unattainable dream at one point. Beyond grateful for the uncomfortable steps I've taken to grow and her words of wisdom.

[@Meriemferhatl121]

I really couldn't help but cry while watching this ! It's beautiful to have someone who is there for you and support u ! I only have those who keeps destroying my hopes and dreams ,who keeps telling me m a loser ,even when I try to ignore them and move on they keep stepping on me and crushing me ....and right now m totally destroyed and I feel like a hopeless loser cz those people are my parents and I can't just ignore them ! I hate my life .

*Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.*

[@JuanCruz-rc7bi]

This speech makes me cry. I grew up in a poor environment, and people from my former neighborhood used to see my family as the future losers. They never believe I am to go to University even though some teachers doubted I am my talent because of my speech problem. In school, I was never an advanced student. I always had to study by myself since I was in first grade because my mom has to take care of my other six siblings. One with a chronic disability. I remember to be sitting down in the living room watching TV and dreaming of one day going to University and having a successful carrier. When I moved to the United States many doors were closed for many reasons. My English was not enough, and my race, my disability, and the background of where I came from. I was about to give up, but I did not do it because I did not want to erase all those dreams that I had when I was a kid.

[@kosingozlanthony9903]

I feel like she pulled back a bit in order to be fully understood but she has a whole lot more to say, telling from the last line in this video... You encouraged me and taught me something. Thank you. And many thanks to the person who posted it. Shalom

[@wolingding]

How to Keep Going When Facing Failure - Deshauna Barber - Keep trying. - Do not fear failure. But please be terrified of regrets. Many of us have goals we are trying to achieve, but the person we are right now is not the person that we need to be when we crossed the finished line to our dreams. So we must walk and paced ourselves on this journey to our goal because we haven't grown enough in ourselves to fit the "shoes" that we need to fit our aspiration. Many of us aren't ready to walk the race. But understand that as we walk this race, we pace ourselves. And as we pace ourselves we grow And as we grow, our "foot" gets bigger And as our foot gets bigger our shoes begins to fill in And as our shoes begin to fill we can now run a little bit faster And as we pick up the pace, we get to the finish line at the exact time we are destined to cross it. Do not fear the word no, but be afraid of the possibility of a yes that you have prematurely destroyed because you decided to quit before the clock strikes 12. Its ok to walk sometimes. We can dream, we can be ambitious. This is a must. But we must be realistic where we are in correlation with the person that we need to be, to properly execute the goals that we have set in front of us.

[@brendaisuarez233]

Thank you i really really needed these words...God bless!

[@alimuzaffar5281]

Whatever people said, it's down to your consciousness and reaction, how you gonna get out from it, people will walk away, it's either can be a good thing or bad thing, you just need to keep the rhythm on your side to motivate yourself, never demotivate yourself otherwise, you would never came to know, how magnificent you are. And a glorious example can be demolish, before you even come to display...

[@hazzellelminero9396]

As an aspiring singer, this woman inspires me so much to keep on trying. I have a problem with self-doubt. I am told I should quit. I have WAY more dislikes than likes on all of my covers and videos here on YT, and I just feel almost every day that I am a failure. But somehow I feel my heart is telling me to never give up.
