Failure Is Not an Option

Hey L,

Years ago in a galaxy far, far away, I was an insurance agent and I remember one time a client of mine sent me an email. Under his signature was this quote:

"Failure is not an option — it comes bundled with Windows."

I must admit, that quote made me literally laugh out loud because it so perfectly captured my experience working with Microsoft products and PC's. Viruses, constant crashes, and endless software patches... such is the life of a PC user.

However, the reason I share this quote with you is not because I can't stand Microsoft products or have stock in Apple.

Rather, I bring up this humorous phrase with you because in some ways it applies to the experiences of the many individuals I worked with who struggle with porn and sex and the like.

Specifically the idea of "failure is not an option, it comes bundled with [what you've done or believed to be true]."

Because when they share with me what they've "learned" about their struggle and/or previously done to try to break free of these unwanted behaviors, I am not at all surprised by their lack of success.

In other words, failure was almost inevitable.

And so that is the subject of this week's post. So, check it out and let us know what you think in the comments.
