Effort Healing

HEALING

Healing: The restoration of damaged living tissue, defeated spirit, exhausted soul, and struggling intellect to normal function. Ideally striving to experience joy from everyday living.

- my own definition

I like these thoughts on effort, success, and failure from Warner:

Effort is more important than so-called success because effort is a real thing. What we call “success” is just the manifestation of our mind’s ability to categorize things. This is “success.” That is “failure.” Who says? You says. That’s all. Reality is what it is, beyond all concepts of success and failure.
