Thoughts on success...

...possibly derived from my recent failures to accomplish any of the things I'm trying to achieve.

Do you think success is just doing something right the first time? No! "Success" is when you try, and you fail, and you pick yourself back up and you try again. You try and you fail and you try and you fail and you keep on trying, and each time you fail a little less, and you achieve a little more, until one day you succeed completely. Success is not a singular event, and failure is not the opposite of success--success is a process and failure is a step on that path.

Maybe this will inspire me to get my rear in gear and get some things done over the weekend!

cul-de-sac

today I realized that the idea of living in a huge stucco house with a 3-car garage on a cul-de-sac in suburbia, next to a row of identical houses, is highly repulsive to me... maybe that's why I have had a hard time settling down and getting married :P
