Perfection sucks

Man… these free stock images are a little too on the nose sometimes.

It really takes a little bit a time.

I have tried to wait for the perfect moment, whether it came to my writing, diet and exercise routine, or career. I wouldn’t even start until I felt like I was ready.

I am a planner. I am this way because I wanted to avoid failure. It turns out that that avoidance led me down paths that I could call some of the biggest failures of my life.

Not going to go into detail as to what that failure is right now. I will say that I am living with my parents at age forty as a result of that failure.

But there are lessons in failure. The lessons I have learned from this far outweigh the original burden of the failure. You can always pull something fulfilling out of disappointment. That, in of itself, is a lesson that I learned from last year.

I want to go more in depth, but I need to stop because I am tired. I actually have a whole page of notes that I haven’t even addressed in this post. However, I am also running on 3 hours of sleep. I thought I could work on improving my writing, but that isn’t going to happen if I can’t stay focused.

The importance of sleep is a lesson that I struggle to learn. I am trying.
