Does anybody still doubt their self worth. Do you feel like you have achieved nothing or very little. Look at yourself and say I should have done so much better. This was shit I thought I got passed in my lat 20's. I have been at my company for 16 years, became a professional strength athlete at the age of 32, travel the world to compete and be in different places got married and have a beautiful daughter ( I think she is lol) drive a nice truck (it's a GMC I love it, shut your mouths) and I have a house. But I still feel like I haven't done shit.

I don’t have this issue. I’ve done more than a dozen men and I’m ready to die any day and I’d be happy as a clam knowing my worth and my contribution in life mattered.
Pivot to why I’m talking this shit above. I’m in my mid 40s and I’ve felt this way since my mid-30s. What I’ve already accomplished has always pushed me to do and seek more - to continue to find this fulfillment. The only place I’ve found it without risking my life on a daily basis is in volunteering in my community. Giving back. Doing something for someone else. Hard work in, positive benefit to someone else out.
You can find what you’re looking for in your own neighborhood. There are lots of folks in greater need than ourselves.
Give your time and talents to those who can benefit from it and you’ll never feel this way again. You’ll want to do and give more, actually.

During my 30’s and 40’s I very much felt that way! Now in my 60’s I’m doing good! What helped me and changed my life was mirror work! Looking into the mirror, staring into my eyes and saying “ I Love you (name)”. Until I shifted. What I mean by shifted is could look myself into my eyes saying this with a big smile on my face, along with feeling it as the truth! I also like the mantra idea as mentioned above as I have and still use them. Also like the idea mentioned above about helping others knowing you are providing a service!
Get a pen and paper out write the question “If could do anything today what would I choose “? Then make a list of the things that come to mind.
Sitting in silence and asking the question “What is my purpose “? I’d recommend setting a timer for 10 minutes each time doing this which may take several times. The answer will come.
Hopefully today is a good one for you!

I understand. I truly believe it's our nature to be never satisfied or fulfilled. It's what continues to drive us to keep going. I don't think we can ever deal with that feeling but try to enjoy each journey as you accomplish more goals.
