Earl Bridges embodies that mantra for life and then some.

He is a “philanthropologist,” meaning that in his PBS TV show, “The Good Road,” he travels the world unearthing stories about people who are doing good without any concern for their well-being.

From stories about filming in places of civil unrest to almost getting ‘smushed’ by the world’s largest elephant in Kenya, this is a don’t-miss episode.

Failure is painful no matter how much cheerleading we give ourselves or receive from the sidelines.

The real question is: For what cause or benefit are you willing to endure a few defeats?

We ALL make mistakes. Whether it is overeating while on a diet, procrastinating that work project until it is too late to get it done on time, or just saying something unnecessarily hurtful to the person you love.

Often, the feelings of regret, guilt, shame and disappointment are worse than the actual mistake itself. So, the question is, how do we move past those feelings and get back up when we stumble?

How would that change the way adversity hits you in life? That, if you wrote a story, wouldn’t you include bad characters and events and struggles in your story?

And, the hero - YOU - would overcome that stuff, of course. Without the adversity, it would probably be a pretty boring story.

This episode is a double header of comedy and enlightenment. It even includes a cameo appearance by the inspiring “Joey the Mets fan.”

- Dr. Pierre McDonnaugh

That statement might seem confusing at first. You either win or you don’t, right? You’re either first across the finish line or you're not, no?

Well, it’s a little more complicated than that. People often forget that Rocky Balboa actually lost to Apollo Creed in the original movie. But he won by far surpassing expectations, by knocking the champ down and going the distance with him.

And, sometimes, the price we pay for victory far exceeds the benefits of winning. In that way, we actually lose even if we technically win. This can be true in war, politics, sports and every other facet of life.

The truth is, we are constantly winning and failing simultaneously throughout life. Real success is found in the narrative that we tell ourselves about our efforts. Did we try? Did we work hard? Were we honest in what we did? Did our efforts feed our spirit?

Dr. Pierre McDonnaugh is the author of "Beauty for Ashes: The Virtuous Side of Failure" and shares the above insight and so much more on this episode of Zen Sammich.

Imagine going through life not realizing why you seem to perceive the world differently than others, perhaps invoking some self-doubt and anxiety about it along the way.

One can imagine people told him he was crazy to leave his job and his girlfriend behind to jump on the cheapest bike he could find and peddle across Spain. After a series of mishaps including one that almost sparked a mountain rescue mission, it would appear they were right.

Part sporting travelogue, part political history, the book follows Chris’s 1,300km route from Valencia to Gibraltar. En route, he travels through Spain’s most picturesque towns.

Along the way he learned about the region’s history, from the time four hydrogen bombs fell over Spain, to the politician who shot General Franco’s daughter in the bottom yet rose to become one of the country’s most powerful men. Chris also meets an array of eccentric characters such as the man who lives in a cave and the Airbnb host who admitted strangling her previous guest.
