Getting out of the pit

I was watching TED talks today and chanced upon Neil Pasricha's 3A's of awesome:

• Attitude: you always have a second choice, you can choose to be optimistic 
• Awareness: bring out the 3 year old in you
• Authenticity: being yourself, and being cool with that

It has been an ongoing vicious lifecycle of unhappiness for the past few months and it has affected me greatly in the way i view my life, my work and myself. It is bothering me that i am not working hard enough to produce the best piece of work that i can deliver; that i am giving up so easily and do not feel inspired enough to push myself forward. 

People around me have been so patient and sympathetic of my predicament - this hole that i am stuck in. Without really realising it, it's actually a quick sand that i stepped into and i can't reach for help...

I am drowning...deeper and deeper into this hell hole and i want to get out. It will be an uphill battle to get myself out there but i know i have to try. I can do this. I am strong. I am capable. I cannot doubt myself of my qualities. 

I can do this...
