The surest way to destroy ourselves is to destroy everything around us. If we want to ensure our own failure, all we must do is ensure the failure of those people and things we touch. Then if we refuse to accept personal responsibility, fail to plan for better things and deny the help and existence of God, we can be assured that troubles and failure will become a permanent part of our lives. The choice is ours to make. Will we chose the Garden or the desert?
Choosing the Garden,

How to Fail In Everything
Knock everything systematically. No matter what you hear of, deprecate it and predict the worst.
Mind everyone else’s business. This will insure your neglecting your own.
Never perform today what you can possibly postpone until tomorrow.
Leave the important things to someone else instead of seeing to them personally.
Have no organized arrangements. Trust to luck for everything.
Be a sanctimonious humbug, and when you bungle things say it is “the Lord’s will” or that the trouble is that you are too good for your surroundings.
Sit down and wait for something to turn up.
Finally, conduct your life in all respects as if there were no God.
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
(Psalm 39:8)
