Hi,

All of us have strengths and weaknesses, and although I don't know what your strengths and weaknesses are, I personally think that it takes a lot of strength to recognize that you do have weaknesses and might need others and even God (assuming that you believe in Him, and from your post, it sounds like you do) to help you to achieve what you might see as success. I don't think that I'm allowed to get too specific about religion here, but I believe that God loves us and has conveyed to us that we are worthy creatures, no matter how much we might struggle, and no matter how weak we might feel. It wouldn't surprise me if even the strongest among us have felt weak at times, but in my view, it's when we feel like we're at our weakest when we need to hold onto the idea that we're worthy human beings who are still capable of achieving success, even if it might be on our own terms.
