I'd say --> 

But that's not gonna do much for you right? I mean.. that's too hard right?

Take an hour or 2 out of your day to just focus on --> contemplation, meditation, journaling, introspecting, questioning and try to understand your problems at their source and try to come up with a solution, when you do; implement it. if it fails, do this again, if that fails, do this again, if it fails do it AGAIN. Persevere until you find the real problem and the real solution. 

Hint*** you are the problem and you are the solution.  

Vision + Strength/Confidence + Perseverance = Success

I agree wholeheartedly. 

 

For me, I found trouble with perseverance because whenever I failed, I get extremely hopeless and depressed. I can't do it.. I'm not worthy... 

 

However, I'm becoming more and more aware of my reaction to when I fail and that's definitely been of help.  Keep going!
