Fax_Benson is right. Forget about the possessions – the absolute worse thing in life is to lose your confidence. Even that has a silver lining though, cause you can control your level of confidence. Start doing the little things you know you can do well and make sure you celebrate every win – no matter how small.
Make your girlfriend or her son smile. That's a win. See a great sunset or run around the block – both wins. Do you have any trophies or medals you've won. Look at them often and picture yourself winning them.
During the worst year of my life – breaking up with the mother of my two children, being jobless and almost being evicted on numerous occasions I continually held the medals I've won from karate and visualised winning them over and over. I got very few creative gigs that year, failed miserably at a commision only sales job and finally got a crappy job moving tyres. That job barely covered the bills, and certainly wasn't the design gig I was looking for, but looking on the bright side I was fitter than I'd ever been and I had survived.
Survival itself became a win. 12 months after the breakup I started dating again and realised that life was good. It was another year or so before I got back into design, but with my confidence back I seemed to be able to date almost any girl I wanted, started winning medals at karate, strengthened my relationship with my kids and made many new friends.
My story above is only an abbreviation of the shit storm of 2005 is I've come to think of it, but things are going pretty damn good.
So work hard on your confidence, look on the bright side of things and keep hard at it.
:D
