Anyone who has worked very hard to achieve something knows how disappointing it can be when you fail. It can feel like it was a waste of time, but usually, if I am honest with myself, it is not.
There are people who need to be needed and there are people who hate to see others succeed where they did not. And there are just people who feel it is their duty to tell me how I could do better. I don’t like to believe that, but before giving up on a goal because someone else was not pleased, it is good to consider all the possibilities.
I succeeded on three of four fronts recently, but came home feeling terribly depressed because I haven’t yet conquered the last frontier so to speak.
Instead of encouragement, or praise for the other three I received a dearth of negative suggestions about what all I did wrong!
I guess now my newest goal is to prove I can do better!
