What learned from my slip...

-- the wine did not taste that good
-- I did not even get buzzed
-- I don't even know why I drank -- it was stupid
-- I ended up feeling sick and needed more time to recover
-- I learned that for some reason I was sabotaging my progress and I need to fgure out why...
-- it was a waste of time...

I learned that for some reason I was sabotaging my progress and I need to fgure out why...

I have asked myself this question about 20575674957 times in life. I was just thinking about success and failure (relative to goals) in very general terms just yesterday.

I think it's a LOT easier to fail at something than to succeed. Success takes hard work and commitment - even when we don't feel like it. Success takes strength, humility and character. Failure takes nothing really - just sit back and do or don't do whatever, and failure is just....easy. It can be painful, regretable, and all kinds of unpleasant things, but it's easier than the responsibility that comes with succeeding in our goals.

2 cents for whatever it's worth...

ETA: PS - the reason I know this with such certainty is from lots of first hand experience.
