Dealing With Cake of Sadness, Cause We All Have at Least One

I have this little guilty pleasure , I like to refer to emotions as cakes. Kinda sounds more fun, doesn't it?

“whatever happened - do not fail”,

“failing is for losers”,

“only unprepared people fail”,

“well, you obviously do not have what it takes”,

“it is just not for you”.

And at that specific moment, it truly hurt us.

So what is the only way to deal with it?


The only way to deal with it is to find the true source of it.


You need to constantly brainstorm what kind of accidents brought you these feelings.


Sometimes the memories flow straight away to the specific events. Sometimes, you need to dig much deeper. And sometimes
