At Least Once A Week

I think our self destructive behavior most of the time hurts worse and has more far reaching impact than when we are hurt by others. We are more desctructive to our self-images than others and being our own worse crtitics and judges, we tend to beat ourselves down more than others can.



I agree that without failure, success cannot be recognized. I also think that those of us who tend to drive ourselves to failure without any help from others tend to have lower self images and tend not to forgive ourselves easily. That is where the real strategy lies. We must learn to forgive ourselves and realize that mistakes are ooportunities for learning and growth.

It hurts less when when we are the cause of our damage than allowing others to be. Yet the damage is still the same.



perfection is an idea, and at its base, it is just doing better than you are currently doing. Perfection should not be a goal, it is not practical and improbable, at least in our attitude or lifestyle. Perfection should be an example to follow. As long as you follow it's example, you cannot fail, for you have improved.



Success is unknown without failures. If we do not experience failures in life, we cannot know what success is, it is the primal motivator to change. Realizing one failure only allows for any goal to become more apparent. It should not discourage you, but allow you to see the difference in your choices. If you do not allow even the opportunity for failure, you do not acknowledge that there is a goal to accomplish.
