Fail/recover

Coming to terms with failing in big or small things is a difficult and ongoing challenge baked into life.

It’s the struggle for perfection in whatever way we define it and the realization that it is not attainable.

There is no perfect.
There is just the pursuit and recovery.

Getting tied to the idea of perfection only leads to disappointment.

The idea is just a marker, a direction forward. But it is not the destination where everything falls into place.

But I want that in various areas of my life.

I want to have a destination for my mental, physical, emotional, and financial journey.

What I have to be reminded of everyday is that these goals will not bring me any closer to joy or contentment IF I AM NOT ALREADY JOYFUL AND CONTENT.

The pursuit IS the point.

Failure brings us closer to reality than anything else.

Failure allows for us to respond and recover.
