Changing the way I view failure (part 3)

I've only failed if I let myself give up.

The thing I tried doing in March was posting on Instagram once a week.

Unfortunately, I did not succeed. But I got close!

Even though I didn't meet my goal, I'm still pretty proud of myself for posting three out of four weeks. That might be the most consistent I've ever been, which is impressive. Especially considering I really, really, reallyyyy do not like posting on social media—like, at all. I thought that having blog posts to pull from would make things easier, and it did! But I still didn't like it.

I’m still not sure what it is about posting on social media that I dislike so much, but I’m pretty sure Instagram is my best bet for finding new clients, which I want, so I’m going to keep trying!

This experience has helped me start to recognize that I've only failed if I let myself give up. I'm not one to be naively optimistic, but when there's something I truly care about, I'll keep at it until I've achieved whatever I set out to do.

April’s new thing: write something every weekday.
