It felt like you intentionally had unrealistic expectations only to set yourself up for the downright annoyance or the uptight aggravations. And it was no wonder that a combination of greed and anger has kept you centered in the situation of pain and discomfort. However, you ended up enjoying, to a greater or lesser degree, the unexpected advantage of having to deal with a little mess. That was all about one of the most difficult problems you've worked on and how you barely solved them. And maybe you were made to know that the inspiration comes at a time when you need it most in the unlikely and most unexpected place. It motivated you learn that some life issues are not inherently bad or good, and having a different perspective can make a difference. And a lot of progress has been made in ways that you couldn't imagine. Of course, it was no joke in practice, and you'll face similar issues again and again. But if you want to cope with it not on such a horrendous scale, you need to make sure that any setback only makes you more realistic in expectations. And you can and you have to pay the price a little more. This means that everything can become real and alvie when you have some skin in the game.
