    Celebrating my triumphs is pretty easy, and so is dismissing my failures. Those are egoic actions; it’s much harder (and more rewarding) to parse triumph and failure for the good and bad within each occurrence, so I can integrate the knowledge each experience has gifted me with, and sink deeper into a harmonious state of…
