Quote From cuagau:
Hi Satchi,
My concern is the perceptions of others, the stigma. .. 'I got 3 years into this and realised it wasn't for me' without it seeming a bit dubious I took 3 years to figure that out. ...
hi again, I think you are ok then, you just need to get over your stigma. Others may be better at writing advice for you on this. If you say it took 3 years to figure it out, 3 years is NOT a long time. Do you know those yogis, they sit in meditation for years and years! So what is 3 years? :-)
Life is still ahead of you, everyday when you wake up, think of one GOOD quality that you have, and say it out LOUD to yourself.
I would like to say this to you with all my heart -- don't be so hard on yourself.
I promise you it will get better in time.
love satchi
