In my daily life, my fear of failure has disappeared. I feel much more confident, dare to ask questions, dare to express my opinion. I do my best, but it doesn't have to be perfect. The hesitation is gone, the fear is gone. My self-love and self-respect have become much greater.

I used to always and everywhere compare myself to others and invariably I came out as the least, the ugliest, the fattest, the dumbest,... Crossed a beautiful woman on the street, I immediately thought "oh, that woman has class, has slim legs, wears a super beautiful dress". And my internal critic began to bring me down: "I have heavy thighs, fat buttocks, fat calves, I can't resist snacking, I'm a loser, I can't diet, have no discipline, I have no style, am a chameleon with 101 different styles, have no style of my own, have no personality". Saw a friend who acts and sings in musicals, I stood in full admiration of his memory, his daring, his talent,.... Things I did not find in myself.

The connections of Live The Connection have made me stop constantly comparing myself to others and constantly tearing myself down. I still love looking at beautiful things and beautiful people, but enjoy it now. It doesn't hurt me, I'm grateful and feel pretty okay.
