The hardest path will bring you the closest to your goals!
Maybe you made a huge mistake, you don't feel like it's the end of the world. As long as you are breathing, you are able to correct all your mistakes to the best of your ability and solve what can be solved. Maybe you are too hard on yourself and get hurt by every little failure, and because of this you take a long time to recover from all the little failures and falls.
What knocks the ground out from under one's feet and shatters their world, brings a bitter smile to someone else's face. People are different. The measure of your failure (as well as your success) is in your experience. If you take everything too much to heart, and if you succumb to feelings of guilt and regret, it will drain your energy. The energy you need to correct mistakes. The energy to learn something from failures and falls and better prepare for the next ones, because you will definitely experience them again, that's life.
If something meant a lot to you, you won't give up easily. You will continue to strive, change approaches, prepare strategies and plans. And you will experience some kind of failure again, but you will continue to work hard and believe that one day you will succeed.
This is not madness, but a way to follow your dreams. When you fail, you will not throw up your hands and cry over failure. You will not pretend that nothing has happened, that you are fine, and that your goals and desires are not important to you.
It is not difficult to suppress your desires and dreams, to swallow the pain and agree to the limitations - for this you do not need courage, but hopelessness and discouragement. Taking the line of least resistance is usually the wrong way to go. Namely, you need the courage to reexamine things to find out what is important to you. To continue to believe and do your best to achieve the set goal. You need courage not to give up on yourself, your dreams and passions.
You have to remember that success is not the first step to achieving your dreams. This is actually the last step. The first is failure.
