Experience is what we get when we don't get what we want.
Unfortunately, obstacles, setbacks, and disappointments are a part of any life of Effort and attempted Growth.
One of the most significant challenges of the unpleasant feeling generated by these adverse outcomes is "learned helplessness."
This occurs when we feel powerless to change our circumstances, diminishing our motivation and decision-making abilities, basically sending us on a downward spiral.
This is a part of life for everyone, and in the end, what matters isn't what we have done; it's what we have overcome.
It takes the disappointment to get the lesson.
It takes Effort to keep going.
