4 Zodiacs Who Feel Like Failures, But Have Come So Far

PISCES

You lose sight of your own accomplishments, Pisces, when you measure them by everyone else’s yard stick. You’ve never been on their path, though, and so that logic is as flawed as buy shoes based on your dress size. You want different things out of life, you are inspired by completely different things. And so the normal milestones are so inadequate when it comes to telling your story and illustrating your progress. You have lived, you have loved, you have opened yourself up to new possibilities and ways of thinking. The best way for you to measure your own success is by looking back at how much you’ve changed in the last year, in the last five, the last decade. You have accumulated so much. Cherish it.

VIRGO

You are so, so hard on yourself, Virgo. First place is never enough if you detect the slightest mistake or flaw in your performance. You strive for perfection in everything you do, and beat yourself up if you deviate from it in any way. Your own fear of making a mistake is likely what contributes to any falters that have. If you could only see your path for what it is, and take pride in your own progress, that strength would come through in your work. Remember the first steps you took toward where you are now. How hard things were at first to do things that have now become second nature. You are the most wonderful success, because at some point you believed you could be.

CANCER

You feel like your time is up, Cancer, like you missed your chance, and all that’s left for you to do is accept your own failure. But you have beaten all of the odds. You have so much left to give if you only regain the smallest sliver of hope. The only thing holding you back at this point is you. You constrict yourself in the fear of being ‘too much’, when you are more than enough to accomplish your dreams. All you need is some self-acceptance to pivot towards a ‘can-do’ attitude. If you trust you deserve it, you will give it a try. Your strength, your humility, your perseverance are all tools you’ve honed over the years. Trust in them.

AQUARIUS

You feel like a failure, Aquarius, when you can’t waive a magic wand and find and instant solution for the problems you’re trying to solve. You want to eliminate all of the suffering in the world, and never make space for the reality you’re trying to tackle an impossible task. Your empathy and generosity are signs of the strength of your spirit. The endurance you display, and the faith you hold onto are superhuman feats. If you lined up all of the people you have positively impacted over the years, it would shift your perspective and drive you even harder toward continuing to chip away at life’s injustices, because those chips accumulate toward the greater good. Slow and steady makes a difference.
