Try to remember and concentrate on all the beautiful and positive qualities of your life and do not affirm your deficiencies. The greatest enemy of yourself is yourself. You are alone responsible if you cannot get out of the ruts you have made. You must make a firm determination to do so. No one keeps you tied to destiny but yourself. The example of great men should make you begin to disbelieve that your destiny is fixed. They became great by changing their attitude. You can do the same. Usually those who have achieved great things in life have also had great failures. But they refused to be downed by them. Those who have achieved, won many battles and lost others, but they did not give in to a negative "destiny". - Paramahansa Yogananda.
