I remember when I was around 8 or 9, my Mom attempted to teach me how to crochet. She would crochet blankets mostly, ie: lapghans, full size, throws and baby. We had a session and she was very patient and I on the other hand could not grasp the concept. I was completely angry that the whole half double crochet instruction was not turning out a blanket that closely resembled one of her creations. My mom told me just be patient, take your time, you can try another pattern. I declared very fed up and angrily that "I won't learn then."
This occasionally became my motto. Once I failed at something, it was hard to think I'd accomplish anything. I have failures and accomplishments. The failures sometimes completely overshadow the great moments. It can weigh my spirit down and my faith in myself. It can take me back to a time I was not a success at some random task. You are you're own worst enemy, for sure.
Once I failed at something, it was hard to think I'd accomplish anything. Repeating that helps me focus on rebounding back from that failure and taking a different route to success or looking at it from another level. My spirit may break many times. I try to remember that when it does, giving up for a time my make the comeback that much more greater.
