Realizing that and remembering it may help, although after a while that may even wear you down regardless. I agree though, your mindset is a key factor in working through the negative energy. Thanks!

Having clarity about that--it's not you they're mad at, you're just the easiest target--might help.

I started a Designing company in 2006 with three of my friends as partners, the two were overwhelmed and became silent, by 2008 we had been lot of projects and had 30 employees. By 2010 I had to let them go, and vacate the office. As you said rightly "multiple tries" this is my second lap, still I am making the same mistakes out of desperateness, since I have nothing to lose now I should be not be desperate and "click" ..finding the difference... All the best for you. Thanks Siva Hello Anthony,
