You are out to sea and everything is rolling along smoothly then suddenly there are rocks ahead. Yep, that's what happened yesterday. Two hours into the morning I thought it was smooth sailing. By the end of the day I had gone aground three times, twice in my family relationships and once with technology.
I was certainly ready for a lesson on failure this morning when I opened up my 100 Day Challenge assignment.
Of course, the lesson pointed out that failures are a normal step in the growth process and that we should embrace them for the lessons we learned and move on.
What I learned was that I tend to run ahead of myself and try to skip some of the steps necessary for any project. You know those critical elements like planning and testing?
I love new technology and when I get a new program I am ready to go all out and launch a major event using the software.
This may not be all bad, by scheduling an event I give myself a deadline which motivates me to get it to work. The invitations have been sent, resevervations have been made, so sink or swim the show must go on but just in case, I may want to have a back up plan.
As far at the personal upheavals my invites created, I think that all worked out okay. My challenge is to not take others indifference personally. My daughter put it rather poetically: "Mom, not everyone has the chip implant yet so don't be surprised that they aren't all that eager to GO LIVE on the internet."
Oh well, like I told her... Resistance is frutile my dear.... the world is changing whether we like it or not, might as well get with the program.
