We succeed to the degree we try...

Success is the opposite of failure. Fact: From quitting smoking to skiing, we succeed to the degree we try, fail, and learn. Studies show that people who worry about mistakes shut down, but those who are relaxed about doing badly soon learn to do well. Success is built on failure.
These words of wisdom come from Martha Beck's 10 life lesson's you should unlearn. It's when I don't have success or experience stress or set backs that I really don't feel motivated to follow the program completely. Yet, somehow I know that's what I'm going to need to do to get back on the right track. Here's to never giving up...because that certainly won't get the result we want!
