Give your best speech/pep talk/words of wisdom.

You can speak to me directly, or speak generally if you want everyone else to feel what you saying... Some of us just need some motivation. I usually can go without and push myself - even on my worst days..

But I feel like if I can hear something positive and it's just not my mom that wants me to do good, I can do better.

Lately I been coming to school late, waiting last minute on my studies.. Coming to work late (never called off, never did a no-call-no-show).. And it's very unacceptable. I did some things in life that set me back, and now I have the tools to set me free in ways that separates me from the system.. And I feel as if I'm taking it for granted.

This is all I ever wanted and I been fuckin it up lately.

Sounds like an old issue for you: self sabotage.

When things are going right, that old belief that you don't deserve to have/get nice thing creeps back in and ruins it for ya.

Making peace with it is far easier said than done, but if/when you manage it, the difference will feel like night and day.

You need to make peace with whatever makes you believe you don't deserve to be happy. Maybe a bad choice you made in the past that caused big problems for you/family and/or other people. Or maybe someone you mistreated who either didn't deserve it or you went overboard with the punishment.

I made peace with my demons a long time ago. I hurt a lot of people many many years ago, and when both of my first loves seemed to give up on me, I started believing that I deserved it because I had done bad things.

But then I looked deep down into myself and realized I'm not that bad of a guy. What I did back then was out of necessity. If a certain event hadn't happened, I would've never done the things I did. I was a product of my circumstances. And then I realized I'm actually pretty fun and I have a lot of good to give. And I deserve to be happy as much as anyone else does.

And you need to try and convince yourself that you too deserve to be happy.
