When I was 20 I made a U-turn at night... on the highway. I had missed the turnpike and was kinda drunk /high. I just didn't feel like driving to the next one. So I turned and did 300 metres. Had four people in the car with me. Could have all died and then some. To this day I reckon that to be the worst decision of my life, but I've learned so much from it. I quit drinking and smoking cold turkey, and found God. I am a very fortunate man, and I will never cease to remember it.

I may never get such a job offer ever again. It just hard to move forward when things around you just keep reminding you of your failure. I see friends get great jobs and open a new chapter in their life and I feel like I don't deserve it because when life gave me my chance, I was to careless to realize it.

It's so easy to loose perspective. Ironic actually. I struggled for years dwelling on a personal/professional mistake that I blamed for eventually having to leave my past career. Was a one time shot that I blew. Funny thing is while I never got to be where I wanted with this limited window of opportunity, I was still a better person afterwards and had grown as a result of this failure. And even though that was years ago and every now and then it comes back to haunt my memory, I am still a better man now than I was prior to making that mistake. That said as long as you're continuously moving forward and growing that's all that matters. And it's so easy to forget that.

Seeing this video tells me my first step is for once not beating myself up today. I dont know exactly how to heal but I think it's a healthy first step. I want to start looking at healing differently. Im getting up in my 30s and I really need to let this saga of failure go. This started from failing college and steming a long journey of failure along with it. Ive recently loss a great job and it kills me to know how much I tried. My issues with failure hung over me so much daily that in pure fear of potential accidents/mistakes would ultimately lead me into accidents and mistakes. The fear of being fired, or failing tests, or being ghosted out of things has really taken a toll on my life. Im starting to realize that fear, failure, guilt and shame all come together as a packaged deal and its been a vicious cycle of that going on in my life. I think i might actually write out my failures and then disect them so i can see and remember what i learned and gained from them. Sometimes i dont think about things until years later when they are laughable situations and all the anxiety is gone. All of a sudden you see lol. So im gonna start a small journey with myself and learn how to stop overthinking things and relating back to all my failed attempts in life.

We don't have time to worry about our mistakes. Learn from them, and Cary on. Do better.

For anyone who is struggling with life. I wanted to kill myself last year. It felt like I had demons in my brain manipulating my mind. I couldnt think clearly. I couldnt choose my thoughts they were being put into me. Everyday it got worse. I barely ate, barely slept, I was dying. My brain hurt, I was constantly getting light headed. The world didn't look the same anymore. It didnt matter how anything looked even if it was beautful, everything looked like hell but I didnt want it to. I wanted to help people, I always have but there was a constant opposition that wasnt coming from me, I couldn't fix my mind. I was afraid to trust God but I knew if I listened everything would be okay. I failed two semesters of college because of this. One of the few friends I had died and because of this problem I couldnt be the brother he always was to me while he was alive. Then my nephew got a really bad sickness. If he would have died I would have died. At the time I felt like I failed alot of people, because I did and I felt like I had failed him, I didn't feel like I deserved to live. It didnt feel right. I tried to fix my mind so I could do better in this life but it only got worse. God healed my nephew from a disease that should have killed him. Real authentic bible following Christians prayed in the name of Jesus and my nephew was healed. Even the doctor asked us if we believed in God because he said my nephew was alive by some miracle. I didnt kill myself because my nephew survived. I kept going but my mind was still messed up. I kept letting people down. Eventually I got fed up with myself. I got to the point that I didn't care what happened to me. I disregarded myself completely for the sake of others. Even though my mind was absolute hell I read the bible, I prayed and trusted God. The more time I spent with God the less, worry, hate, anger and paranoid I got. I learned to love people that I had no reason to love. I dont want to hurt people. The only reason I still do mma is for my coach that got killed. The last thing he told me before he died was that he couldnt wait to see me in mma, I feel like I have to fight, I know he didn't die for nothing, it wont be for nothing. Eventually my mind was free from all that hell, it took awhile only because I had a real hard time trusting in God but once I just let go and trusted God no matter what I became free from all that mental hell. I have mental clarity now. I have peace, I can breathe. I know alot of things in life dont make sense sometimes but I promise you there is life in Jesus. All of you matter. Dont listen to anyone who tells you that you dont. You are more than significant. theres a guy named dan mohler on youtube that explains the gosple of Christ very well, Look up Dan Mohler- what is our purpose
