the worst defeat...

self caused losses are the least tolerable.

speaking for self they would also appear to be the most damaging. the inability to recover properly from negative situations removes the ability to progress toward positive situations.

failure for finite beings is to be expected. finite = limited. limitations lead to faulty judgment. this isn't to suggest that failure is acceptable, it just isn't the end of all being.

the severity of the failure experienced is obviously a factor in considering how the recovery process moves, but no movement at all is a serious issue.

specific failure at 1 point should not result in future failure from incorrectly focusing on prior failure.

failure is best viewed in light of the lessons its experience teaches. w/o these lessons the acts that caused the failure to be experienced are bound to repeat in relation to the inability to absorb the meaning/cause of the failure. from this perspective, the only real failure that ever exists is that of not learning from mistakes made.

all life experience as a finite being serves as learning experience. the more we learn as finite beings, the more closely we can approach our infinite nature. experience is only negative when we do not learn from it. it is unproductive to ignore our lessons & continue on in ignorance w/self defeating behaviors.

speaking on self again, i tend to dwell on certain aspects of failed experiences in ways that are not at all productive.

if i do not change this behavior, i'm going to continue to suffer certain consequences. as w/most things, being aware of this does not necessarily mean a change is going to occur.

i have work to do...

i have to work on recovering more efficiently, notice i did not say hastily, from perceived failures & distractive behaviors exhibited by self & others.

make like having problems w/focus is great for pursuit of goals...

PEACE
...be calm...
