Finally getting to grips with oneself?

I have been struggling with ill health in recent weeks, had a horrible viral infection, troublesome learners and a few tutor spats I was stuck in the middle of.......
But, slowly but surely I seem to be coming out of this a stronger person. I'm learning to stick up for myself, ignore the doom mongers and do what I want to do. I no longer feel shackled by listening to or heeding the advice of hearsay or gossipmongers I am being more honest and upfront about my feelings. I know I have to stay calm and strong at work and show people just what I'm made of, I CAN do this. I know Mr Right, I've met him, let him slip through my fingers but I'll see him again soon if I just sit back and let career take centre stage whilst things brew away...
The key is not to panic, do things because I believe in it and I want to do it, rather than plod on to the point of insanity. Too often I work until very late at night or stay up to an unearthly hour either watching mindless TV or churning over and over the negatives or nagging doubts in my head.
I have raised over £190 for Comic Relief dressed as a clown for the week, gained good marks in my Module 1 assignment, had positive feedback by and large, from my learners. I am going places, I just have to keep believing in myself.

Onwards and upwards!!!

P.S. How brilliant was the Apprentice last night?! Already got people bitching, backstabbing and bruised!!!!!!
