That Time I Almost Failed
So I had canceled the email below when I realized the sound somehow hadn’t recorded.
Then i thought, what awesome irony that my awesome recording about failure (it was awesome) failed. 🙂
Basically, the highlights of what I didn’t say are:
1. the title basically was click bait and of course i failed many times on the way to getting where I am today… and will fail again on the way to where i’m going.
2. But I never really fail, because i win or i learn.
3. and what’s more is that there is a difference between failure and feedback. Feedback just tells me what I’m not doing right, or at least well enough, yet.
4. I fail when i quit.
and i didn’t talk about- well I talked about but didn’t record- about goals, and my rhythm register and that i had almost already fallen out of the process.
But i didn’t.
and that if i’d quit the process before i completed it i’d have failed.
but the fact that week one I scored -9 is just feedback- and i’ll get better and better and better until i’m winning at the habits and then add some more.
and, by the way, thanks for the feedback about the sound Mike and Julie; now i can fix it. 😉
Make it a great day tribe.
