What Are You Feeling?

Before we discuss why we feel so bad sometimes, we will talk about what we are feeling. If your thinking goes unchecked, it is completely normal to have one or many of the following thinking patterns and feelings:

1) You may feel you are a complete failure.

2) You may feel you will never be able to hold down a job.

3) You may feel because of how your confidence level is, you will never be able to do the job you
    really want to do.

12) You may feel that because you have never been truly happy, that you will never find true
      happiness.

13) You may feel that because so many bad circumstances are happening to you at this time that
