Have you ever felt the sense of comfort after accepting defeat and walking away from a dream or goal that had been plagued with bothersome issues and hiccups? Perhaps you were relieved because the idea of actually accomplishing the goal was scary, or perhaps you were just ready to stop fighting and needed some rest. Trust me, I know the feeling too. Sometimes the pursuit of a goal can be so tiresome that coming to terms with walking away from it feels more like a victory than a defeat. You sigh a deep sigh of relief, “That's over, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Usually at this point, we also begin to justify our defeat, to turn it around as if it really were a good thing.
