Treat your career like a bad boyfriend... Your career wont take care of you. It won't call you back or introduce you to its parents.

You have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look.

He will enable you to repent, strengthen you, lighten your burdens, dry your tears, comfort you, and continue to help you stay on the path.
