This is hilarious, and very accurate too – I can see 6 things in this 12-word thought-bubble that would tend to cause low self-esteem!

1.  “If” I succeed instead of “when”

2.  “When” I fail instead of “if”

3. Fault/Blame mindset instead of Responsibility/Consequences mindset causes people to take things way too personally

4. Fatalism – lack of control of her own life, too strong a belief in outside influences

5. Refusal/inability to accept responsibility for actions that produce good results

6. Refusal/inability to allow for mishaps, delays, and other environmental impediments

That’s a whole lot of stinkin’ thinkin’ for 12 words! Have I missed anything?
