is this good advice? would it encourage you?

2010 was not a stellar year for me or my family. new years eve, everyone was grappling with the depression that comes from unaccomplished goals and incomplete projects. since i am the father and grandfather, i was struggling for some words of wisdom to get everyone back on track. I came up with: "Tomorrow morning, when you realize you broke your diet and gained instead of lost weight, or that you didn't finish the books you swore you were going tor read before the end of 2010, or that there was less money in your checking account than you had planned for, go in the bathroom, close the door, look at yourself in the mirror, and say, proudly, 'At least I did not let my ego destroy an NFL Football Team. At least I'm not Jerry jones.'" would that make you feel better?
