Prepare to Fail
Prepare to fail… It’s going to happen. Try as you might to avoid it; you’ll soon find
you can’t. It will find you in every
endeavor you pursue. Whether it be picking
up a new sport, building a shed in the backyard, starting your own business or
even in relationships—like your marriage.
That’s right, you are destined to fail and no matter how smart, how aggressive,
or how focused and determined you think you are—you are gunna bomb... Big time.
Failure is something many of us try to circumvent at all
costs. Why? Because it leaves nothing to be desired, just
a feeling of self-doubt, self-pity and discouragement. No one wants that title of “failure” at the
end of his or her name. It doesn’t do
much for your ego or your reputation among your peers.
Failure and success should be looked at as moments in time. They are both part of the process of
progression; however, I feel failure is much more vital. True, success does gives you a taste of what
can be, a feeling of accomplishment, but does it actually make you better? When we fail we are left in a hole with a decision,
to give up or get up. It’s the getting
up requires us to trust in whatever strength and resources we can muster to dig
our way out. We leave with a renewed
perspective, appreciation and understanding of who and where we want to
be. Thankfully, it is the failure that
prepares us for the success.

Project Update:
So now the real challenge begins—time management. I have quite a few orders in, I have my
materials and supplies. Now it is just a
question of finding the time. With
midterms in three of my classes this week, I wasn’t able to spend my Saturday
in the garage working, as I would have liked.
This week I am going to have to put some time in on the evenings. I want to get everything built and then stain
and paint them all at the same time, to use my time more effectively.
