Need to get out of the hole I've dug myself into
Alpha:
+rep for the humility you showed in acknowledging your weaknesses. :)
Now, find and work on your strengths.
If you are a person like me, you'll work better and surpass yourself under the strain of competition. Find yourself the best competitor you can-- not to develop a self-destructive selfishness, but to avoid unhealthy complacency and narcissism-- which will definitely set you going further ahead and faster than the aim you had in mind.
If you cannot work under pressure, then make sure you don't waste a fraction of a second of the time you've left.
Cling to something that will lift you up when you're down, cling to God, and cling to your dreams.
And remember, everything comes with a cost. Sacrifice generously, don't care about whether you'll recoup the cost or not. It always comes, in any form, but it comes.
I like this quote a lot:
"Do not tell me what you have achieved until you have told me how much you had to overcome."
Will pray for you,
Best wishes. :)

"Find yourself the best competitor you can-- not to develop a self-destructive selfishness, but to avoid unhealthy complacency and narcissism" I love this, thanks a lot for your encouragement. I truly appreciate it, I will try my best. What I also realized is that, it helps me when the person I'm not competing with isn't my friend lol. That's what I think happened to me, when I became close friends with my competitors, I didn't care if I got higher than them or not then stopped caring at all. Ah well I have 2 of the best friends that are more than like brothers to me, I'm happy with that lol and the rest of the world can be my competitors :p Thanks again and I wish you all the best in you goals and life :)

In my humble opinion and with no offence meant, you are wrong there. My biggest competitors have always been my best friends, and maybe that is why, we enjoyed the little pleasures of big challenges to the most. And believe me, if you handle it well, and you give it all your honesty and modesty, you will not only break the limits of your own potential, but you will also drag along the ladder, your two brother-like friends. :)
So, yes, it also a matter of perception and attitude. I hope you find some people who will suit to the task.
And you're most welcome. You asked for help here, you got served. Now, get to work. ;)

redo AS and learn to fear failure. Have nightmares about it and get up each day determined to avoid it.
