Sometimes we make life harder than it is, than it should be. While trying to accomplish tasks and dreams we may mess up. Take the long way. Go the wrong way.
Not realizing there was a short cut or a proper way. An overlooked map or direction. A clue somehow missed.
And in these moments we may feel like we failed. We messed up. Focusing on our stupidity in the process of doing, not realizing that there was still an accomplishment made.
We can fix our mess ups. There's no mistake that cannot be overturned and made right. And maybe, just maybe, what seemed like a foolish path may turn out to be the one you needed to go down after all. That was your path. Your mistake. Your discovery.
Even if you feel like you failed, remember... you only fail if you believe you did, and don't get up and try again, or find a solution to fix what's gone wrong. Maybe, just maybe a perceived failure isn't one at all, but a new solution, a new path, a new way of doing. That's okay, too.
In the end there's still cookies.

P.S. I really did feel stupid as I was struggling to open the bag, only to then notice the "peel here" arrow after the bag was opened!!
