What I Mean by A Successful Failure

Simply: Not Minding that I am Failing at some things, for now.

No, I am not giving up, just prioritizing things a bit more logically to allow for some realities such as:

• It is a 24 hour day
• I will run out of energy
• Making $ must take an even further back seat to my own health & / or just plain well being
• A few of the other people & / or animals in my life will always come 1st with me to a large extent 
• Because That Is my Character and I am not going to change that. 

Not even sure I care to change that part of me.

So my aim with my new approach to daily life is:

• To enjoy daily life, even if I am failing, (yet not fully quitting), at work.
• Also to stop penciling in “for my health & well-being time” too. 

So far, this being day 4, I am slowly beginning to relax!

Not much as gone undone put off for a day or so, but not neglected!

Dust Bunnies, & the proper notating of doctor & specialist appointments for the next 2 months, like paper, are patient!

How I have Come to This

Yesterday it got to the point where I felt, well observed, that nothing I was working on was working. Not even the important stuff. Normally resilient, I crashed and stayed down.

I sequestered myself in our bedroom and played games: Spanish Coach followed by French Coach on Nintendo. See. I kind of fail at play too…

Anyway, The things I fail at are too numerous to put in this post. I plan to make a list of them, make links to their appropriate posts as the come up, in lieu of a Site Map.

I will get to that. Ha Ha! Getting around to things, even important for my health things, Is one of my main failings…

This Am, I woke up, and went right back to bed, after doing some cats and house related chores. Up until now at 2 to 3 AM I would just get up and start my day.
However, I reasoned:

• The work results I am getting for this amount to no sales of late
• The rest of the chores will wait until our dog gets up
• We are in a heat wave
• The AC is on in our bed room
• That is where I will be until 5:30ish, when the dog wakes up. 

By the time I got out of bed I had come to the conclusion that if I was going to fail at everything:
I am going to be
The Best Failure I Can Be
& be assured: I am No Perfectionist! So begins my efforts at Failing better…

Best Wishes!
