Okay, so technically it's not the 7th. I messed up. I missed a day. I'll make it up with 2 blog posts today.
Since I messed up on creating my habit, I think I'll talk about that. Habits are formed when you determine to do something consistantly for a length of time, right? Did you know, though, that backsliding is actually an important step in creating the habit too?
The goal for me is to become more organized, and in this specific case, blogging about it consistantly every day. Creating a habit. Missing a day can do one of 2 things: it can make me give up, or it can make me all the more determined to create the habit. It's all a matter of what I choose to do about my mistake.
At the moment my choice is clear, I choose to become more determined. If I make another mistake, my determination will hopefully increase again. I hope I do not slip again, but it could happen. The choice is still open with every failure, but if your determination builds every time you fail, you will eventually reach your goal.
Failure isn't bad unless you don't learn from it.
