It’s hard for me to believe, but the first quarter of the year is already in the books and taxes are due next week. Hopefully, you are one of the lucky, non-procrastinators that filed their tax return long ago and have done something fun with the refund the …
“I’ve never been able to do that, why even try?” “I’ll never get that job, why apply?” “I can’t do anything right.” “No one wants to spend time with me.” “I’m never going to be as fun (pretty, smart, successful, etc.) as my friends are.” Every thought we …
