By the week is over, I'm back to my weak, pathetic self daydreaming for hours on end about projects that will never be completed, sometimes about my so-called 'perfection,' even though I haven't really accomplished anything for humanity.
I can only speak from my personal experiences so here's what I've discovered. The mind creates fabrications from imagination about itself to try to prove that it's somehow worth a damn, while in reality nothing was done to prove that self-worth. Therefore, it all comes down to hating one's self for not meeting up to their own personal expectations. A man can dream about becoming God, but leave them idle and they become the devil's playground. For some reason, I cannot get this through my thick skull.
A single moment will not end your life. Build up some self-confidence and realize that life is a stage, but that doesn't mean that when someone makes a mistake the play is halted to fix it. It keeps flowing just as a movie should. Your dream will not exist to others unless you show it. And then all shall pass as planned.

This is helpful thank you. I never really thought I had a self-confidence problem, but maybe I do. I think the reason this has confused me is because with some things I have all the self-confidence in the world...or at least I thought I did, maybe I havn't learned the meaning.
I do care too much about the little things in life, and the self-denial struck home as well. I too go through these 7-14 day cycles where for the majority of the time I'll be fine, getting many things done, but then at the end of the week I just get angry and upset about every little thing, and get nothing done and daydream. But self-denial about what? Denying that Im not perfect?
And that whole last paragraph is helpful too. Thank you, this was what I was looking for when I wrote my original post. Im still not sure if yours is the same as my problem but it has given me something to think about.
Anyone else want to share? ... and not just ridicule like a certain un-named person.
