The other day I wrote most of a blog post and thinking I was being smart saved it in a way that I don't usually do. I shouldn't have been surprised that there was some error between the draft and the actual post that meant I would not be able to edit the content (and therefore had to rewrite it), but that doesn't mean I have to like it, because I definitely don't. Am I thankful that I didn't lose everything? Absolutely, but when I thought I was doing something good and getting ahead didn't work out as I thought it would. One of the things that frustrates me the most is that if I had saved the post in the way that I usually do it, it would have been up and done in minutes instead of taking a significant amount of time to retype and finish it. How often does this happen to you when you're working on your victories? Either you've done all the hard work and then you get stuck or rerouted, or you're ready to get your victories done and technology or some other outside force just doesn't work as it usually does? Life and victories come with mistakes and missteps as well as trial and error, so you shouldn't let your focus be completely ruined when those things happen. The thing that often decides your victories both now and in the future is if you remember how this went down and avoid what should be avoided going forward. So going forward I'll stick to what I've been doing when it comes to writing blog posts, while trying not to let that scare me off from trying new things, especially those that are supposed to make my life easier, because sometimes there are better and easier ways to do things, but sometimes you should just stick with what works, especially if it's not going to significantly change the time or resources required. What lessons have your victory journeys taught you recently? | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
