    Viktor Frankl’s story is such a powerful example of resilience. You’re an amazing speaker, this talk will stay with me for a long time.
    From Viktor Frankl to Maria, every story shared was deeply inspiring. You’ve shown us that life’s toughest moments can lead to the most beautiful outcomes.

    Excellent talk, Jimmy! How does one deal with frustration and regret over past mistakes? I have difficulty finding the positives when I recall faces of people I let down or instances when I did not have the maturity or clear thinking to rise to the moment. It is a drain of energy and especially tricky since these images and internal movies don't have words to argue or reason with as in CBT. I want to use these experiences to strengthen an inner resolve to do better and to develop a sense of assuredness that in the future my presence of mind will be reliable. While I can remind myself of this goal when things are calm, it is harder to do in the heat of the moment.

    • @JimmyNaraineOfficial

      I feel you. It is hard. However, the way I see it - your life is like a movie, and in order for the movie to be worth watching, the main character needs to fail. Messing up creates an opportunity for growth and growth is exciting. Nobody would wanna watch a movie of someone living a perfect existance never making any major mistakes. Boring, you probably wouldn't last 15 minutes. We need failures and we need to get sometimes slapped in the face.
      I understand that it's trickier when it comes to the feeling of letting others down. However, the way I reframe it is that it gives them an opportunity to grow. For instance, look at Goggins - his father was abusive, but all that hardship also made him who he is - one of the hardest men on the planet.

      On a more practical note, I highly recommend taking a daily confidence shower. All of us (well, almost all of us) take a shower and brush our teeth every day. What about our mental health though? How many of us take even just a few minutes daily to reflect on our positive sides & wins? Almost none. We are hardwired to focus on negative as it's our survival mechanism. This is why I recommend creating a list of all the things you could be proud of in your life, grateful for and happy about. Start each day by reviewing the list, feeling grateful for your gifts, skills, abilities, inborn capacities etc really focusing on the feeling deep inside. Regularly add new items to the list. In no time, you will override how you perceive yourself. Your internal dialog will shift to more positive and you will notice that your identity is becoming more powerful and positive. As a result, it will be easier to deal with some of the feelings you described. I hope this helps.

      @@JimmyNaraineOfficial Thank you for your replies. They are helpful for me and probably others who read the comments as well! I like the idea of a daily routine of reviewing one's gratitude. I can couple it with a daily task such as straightening, or reading before bed, etc. . .
      Reviewing the many gifts, skills, and capacities upon which I, like everyone else, have been naturally bestowed, sometimes makes me sad when I reflect on how little I have built upon them or accomplished with them. We should reframe such thinking, though, as an opportunity to recognize and make good use of them from now on, each day. Thanks again.
