You didn't fail. You were optimistic and it didn't pan out. At least now you know that your instincts are pretty sharp, so you know something good about yourself.
> Part of my unhappiness was that I took this job on even though it felt all "wrong". I knew from day one that I wouldn't be able to devote enough time to it to make it even viable. I knew that the person who recruited me would be insatiable and demanding. I did it because I believed so highly in the company's values. Once inside the organization I found that it was just lipservice. It was only ever all about the money.
> I hope it was one of the last times that I went against my instincts. That is part of my new creed - to trust my insight, intuition, and powers of discernment. It's in this sense that I failed. At the time I had no idea that therapy would lead me to defining that creed, so I do grant myself slack on that one.
