and failed? What percentage of goals must one attain throughout ones lifetime to feel self worthy?

as a sports fan I'm not sure why I live vicariously through my favorite sports teams, with their losses comes despair, with their wins [especially as underdogs] comes jubilation. It's like I've achieved my goal through them, however there was no effort. That's the only true satisfaction, when a person must exert effort to obtain his goals. But how long does that last?

No, this has never happened before in the history of humanity.

I have given up on many things in my lifetime.

And failed some. I failed scholars forum.

yeah after initially posting I realized it wasn't the best way to get a true discussion going.

achieving goals through personal sacrafice (effort) = happiness = success = ?

i dont think one can better themselves if they havent failed at goals theyve set

if you arent failing then you are setting shitty goals

as for the percentage of goals to be met I think it varies from person to person, however I think if it is less than half than that is one of many things that could cause psychological problems to develop.
