Sounds as though you've been having a lot of "revelations" lately-- well, good for you1 "We live and learn"-- and if we don't learn, we don't "live"; we just continue to exist, trudging around in the same circular rut, until we drop dead.
I read somewhere that "Those who fear failure will never succeed." Indeed, success is built on failure. Thomas Edison had to test over 6,000 materials before he found one that would work as a filament in his incandescent electric light. Can you imagine?-- it took over SIX THOUSAND "failures" for him to find success! But he knew that each "failure" brought him that much closer to success. By the time he died, he had patented 1,093 inventions.
So-- don't think of your unsuccessful attempts as "failures"; instead, think of them as "failed EXPERIMENTS." There's nothing to "forgive" about a failed experiment!
