Sometimes it just doesn’t work

This is the third piece I’ve written today. 

I don’t normally write more than one (I don’t have the patience) but the first two just didn’t work. 

One of them doesn’t know what it wants to be about yet, and the other isn’t suitable given what’s going on in the world. 

Neither would have added much value so none were posted. And I’m left at 2230 (not my best time of day) with a piece about how sometimes things fall apart. And that’s ok. 

Failure is inevitable. If we can’t see our failures, then we’re either not paying attention or someone is doing some clever editing of our internal stories. 

We can’t expect every attempt to be successful. Sometimes we’ll get it wrong. Sometimes the environment is hostile. And sometimes circumstances will (seem to) conspire against us*

The best that we can do is to take a breath, reset and see if we can’t make it work the next time. 

See you tomorrow. 

*circumstances don’t actually conspire against us, that’s just a feeling we get when we’re in a self-centred mindset.
