Actually, no, it isn't. You are already doomed to fail, because you won't make a commitment to victory. Emily, Yoda had it right when he told Luke Skywalker, "Do, or do not. There is no try." You are constantly referring to "trying", because you don't want to do the right thing, but you still want credit for it.
What Amy and others have challenged you to do is not to climb Mt. Everest, Emily. It's a simple thing that is completely within your power if you commit to it. You won't commit because you enjoy living on the impulse of the moment, and you enjoy the drama.
If you're going to be happy in the long run, you're going to have to learn the power of delayed gratification. Sometimes, a little patience and endurance can produce lasting joy.
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
