Perhaps that you are committed to your own honest progress in that you have been steadfast in the person you are, even though the rewards are not always as quickly forthcoming as for those whose personal ideals may be somewhat more frivolous? Seems admirable to me, so maybe you could start with that. Respecting yourself for not taking the easier ways out. For being willing to go the hard way, and not cheapening your ideals. Nothing worth having is gotten easily after all.
Just an idea. Good luck.

Like a veil thrown over the skin to secure its modesty, the screen partially removes from the mind the inner states of the body, those that constitute the flow of life as it wanders in the journey of each day.”
