My commitment here is to post quality content on Thursdays, Saturdays and Mondays.
The posting aspect is not hard; it requires stringing a few words together and clicking the publish button. The difficult aspect is the “quality.”
For this blog, quality means authentic, heart-felt and sincere. No B.S., nothing half-assed, and nothing that I feel wouldn’t be of value or of service. Talking the talk and walking the walk.
I’m not always able to come up with long format, compelling and quality content. In my mind, that feels like a failure. And that’s hard to swallow.
I’d rather fail authentically than succeed by faking it. So today, I’m failing. Maybe there is a lesson in here, but honestly it just feels like I haven’t kept my end of the “blogger bargain.”
When I fail, I find it hard to not fall into a place of judgment or disapproval when failing; instead, I’m working toward love. In this moment, I know exactly how difficult that can be.
It is so much easier to say “I sucked today,” than it is to say, “It’s okay, you’ve still got it, and you’re still worthy of love.” Try anyway. Make it a practice to love yourself in failure, and to keep going. I’m mostly succeeding at this today.
If you beat yourself up because of failure, two things can happen: you’ll avoid failure at all costs, driving yourself to your limits, OR you’ll give up to avoid the possibility of failure.
Don’t burn out. Don’t give up. Keep giving your all, even when all you have to give feels like not enough.
Accept yourself in the moment.
Fail again, authentically.
I’ll see you Monday.
