Should I be proud that I'm doing magic at all, even if on individual occasions it seems to have no result?

I almost never know what went wrong or why. From what you've written, you do seem to feel that something is happening, and that's a major step for a lot of people.

I think you should be proud. It's not always winning the race that counts. Sometimes, it's that you beat your own best time, that you finished, or even that you just strapped on shoes.

I don't keep a log of my apparent successes and failures. I might find it incredibly depressing if I did, but that's not why. If I achieve one success, I know it's worth the effort of trying again and again until the next one.

I hope that makes sense.
