I think that failure is unavoidable and an intrinsic part of life, even if unpleasant. Paradoxically, a life without failure is a life not lived. Personally, I find the process of failure difficult and debilitating; it is one of my larger personal goals to be a more resilient person in the face of failure and even embrace it. I realize that all of our abilities must be grown and cultivated; there isn’t a single success that is intrinsic, automatic, or cannot be improved upon. For me, sticking and creating a self-imposed routine and focusing on personal growth, not getting bogged down by my own inane mental commentary will be a challenge as it has been thus far. I think that I’m beginning to realize that this goal will take a lifetime to work towards, filled with both success and triumphs.
