"Our sincere desire counts far more than any specific success or failure."(Reflections for Ragamuffins February 8)
Hey at least you gave it your best shot. Sometimes that is the words I will use when talking myself through a failed attempt. If I can look myself in the face and say you did all you could do and you wanted it then nothing else matters.
I wish that were 100% true but it isn't. I can feel just as exasperated when I fail especially when I wanted to succeed and can't find out what went wrong. Yet the call is to keep striving. If something works out I suppose that's icing on the cake. And certainly in those times when something has gone according to my heart's desire, I know and can celebrate it. But again I'm not called to cling to that success.
How badly I desire something worthwhile and how many setbacks and accomplishment am I willing to endure and or enjoy to arrive?
Blessings.
