Hi Thinktank, firstly gotta say that you've chosen a great-sounding nickname, and I know that it really reflects the kinda person that you are - you think alot! And that's good! AND... you ARE NOT a sham! Nobody is unless you allow yourself to be. YOU WILL NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE A SHAM!

What you have shared about your shyness brings back memories about my growing-up years. I was an ultra-introvert. I still am an introvert - but nowadays selectively. I was so shy then (then was about college-going age).

The fact that you have created dreams for yourself, seeing yourself do so many things after college - is a great thing! Cos success is built from dreams. Ask Thomas Edison, ask Leonardo DaVinci, ask any famous person, and you'll realise that it all started with a dream.

Keep your dream strong and alive and make it more real to you by writing down on a journal, or on a card and stick your written dream on the top of your computer or TV screen ; another copy on your washbasin mirror, another on your dressing table mirror and another on your door at eye level.
Writing down all the things you want to achieve and having it at places you constantly have to see will serve as a constant reminder to you what you want to achieve.

You mentioned that seeing your therapist helped you keep on track, perhaps you may want to re-start your sessions with your therapist?

Alternatively, identify someone more senior and more responsible in your life whom you trust and look up to and with whom you have a good relationship, and ask if that person would mind being your mentor. But before you do that, know that selecting a mentor means that you are opening up to him/her and allowing and giving that person the right to check on you on your progress. You are making yourself accountable to your mentor. Set a goal with your mentor that you want to achieve a certain goal within a fixed time frame - maybe in 6 months or one years time. Establish a fixed time and schedule every week to meet up with your mentor to "report" your progress.

You have proven in the past that you have it within you to succeed in what you want to, and set-out to, do. And because you have done it before, YOU definitely can do it again! You just have got to want to do it. You just have got to want to think well again - after all you shared that you do it before!

Do this... Remove the TV plug from the wall socket. Sit yourself down at your table. Take a piece of paper. Write down your dreams in bold letters and say it to yourself as you write it down. Say it out loud. And repeat saying it several times. Do this everytime you sit infront of your computer (cos remember, you're supposed to stick your written dream on your computer screen). If you can dream it, YOU CAN MAKE IT!

Share with us here your progress...
