You are far from being a failure Jeff. Look around you and see what you have and what you have done. Maybe it's not what you hoped for, but it's probably more than some. Maybe try to get out of your head and get into others. I think we are all here to not just better our lives, but the lives of others. Every time I have contact with other people, I've changed their lives, hopefully for the better. When you think about it, it's actually impossible to be a failure. Sure, some things don't work out the way I want no matter how hard I try, but the fact that I worked at it makes me a success. Your being here is a success. Maybe break down your successes in small increments. Sometimes, small successes lead to bigger successes. I think sometimes looking at the big picture can blur the things I'm doing well today.
