I think a person should be proud of their efforts even should it not deliver the best result; of course, there's lessons in that as well and one needs to get back to it, adjust, and chase down the desired result.
It's Saturday night here, I'm relaxing after a solid day of work (yep, worked on Saturday). Life's good...no complaints. I hope you have a nice weekend, manage to engage some of your passions and at the end look back and see it as time well spent. 😊
