Self-doubt is common when our efforts fail to bring results. Failure is a rock in our shoe that nags us until we find relief. At first, failure to achieve our desired end will elicit careful scrutiny {What can I do better?} and resumed commitment {How can I try harder?}. Success may be achieved-straight As, an athletic scholarship, perfect Sunday school attendance-but the real goal-a happy family, an end to the abuse, or relief from the pain-is always out of reach.
