Half-Past Failure

What time is it where you are right now?




Do you ever feel as though it's about half-past failure?



I sure do.



Whether the day isn't going as planned, or I don't seem to be able to gather up enough motivation to even think about resisting a bad choice, it's easy to feel as though I'm well on the way to failure.



So from today on, I'm putting failure on a different time schedule.



A stop watch.



Anytime I feel as though I'm about to take a giant leap towards failure, I'm going to hit that button and stop the clock! While failure fumes and stomps around grumbling about free-will and choice, I'm going to step back and look at the decision I'm about to make and decide if it's right for me.



The rest is easy. Once I decide, I'll reset that old stop watch and start again, one step at a time on the road less traveled by. I'll wave as I go by, maybe stop in to see you with a friendly word of encouragement. Some of you will be walking alongside me, boosting me up with positive support and friendship. Thanks for that. Have I told you recently how much I appreciate you?



When I finally reach my goal, I think I'll send failure a postcard and thank him for helping me appreciate success.



Ready? Let's go!
