What Happens When You Read Your Own Personal Development Advice 15 Years Later?

No need to zoom in on the words, I’ve got it extracted here:

Wrote these in 2009... amongst the hundreds of articles which are now lost since they were all on EzineArticles.com (which is now dead) and I lost them when I shifted my website from a regular host to GrooveFunnels hosting (which doesn't use WordPress).

• I didn't outsource my writing - I was too broke.
• I wrote all the articles myself - I was too free.
• I believed in a better future - I still do.

Am I a loser for believing in these?

What I do tell people is that I've been failing since 2008 and if anything, I can share with people on what NOT to do.

I've embraced my failures but frankly, as the last days of being in my 30s approach and I step into the 40s, I'm moving forward with less haste and more prudence.

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mentionI did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
- Frank Sinatra
