So i have a place to sleep for a few weeks. A blessing for sure. But why do I feel horrible about it? My grandpa gave me a big complaint about how I have always been good to him and I'm a sweetheart and so on. But I'm 32 I should have my shit together. I lost everything my family my marriage which was not a great one my kid's my job I had for 13 years. My life. But I have learned alot over the last year and 7 months. But I feel hepless lost empty gone confused dead inside. I want to nit feel any more. Why did he have to leave me and my ex husband my best friend mysoulm mate. I need u. But I shouldn't need him to function in life I did it by myself before I can again but one day I feel that way and the next Im lost. How to coup with this all. Thank you

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...
