1. One thing that I have failed at this semester is saving money. I bring up this situation because it is the most frustrating thing in the world. This semester, just like any other, I said I was going to make a conscious effort to save my money by bargain shopping. This sadly didn't happen. Week by week I went to the grocery store and rang out the big bucks. This taking a huge toll on my wallet and bank account.
2. Many thing can be taken from this. For one I have learned that I have expensive food habits. It seems to me the more I like it, the more it costs. I don't know if this is different for other people though. What I can realize from this is that no matter how hard I try to save there were always be a certain amount of money that will go towards food. Now that I have realized this I can budget my money to properly allocate my spending.
3. Personally, I handle failure terribly. I get really angry at the situation and then disappointed with myself. It is like a never ending cycle, but I want the cycle to continue because without failure it would be hard to learn anything. If I was scared of failure, I would do nothing in the world but on the contrary I have used failure to prepare myself for the bigger struggles I will one day face.
Hey Kevin,
ReplyDeleteJust like you, i get frustrated with myself when i fail. I Usually feel guilty and won't allow myself to enjoy anything until I've made up for it. Although this can be extremely annoying, i think there some good in it too. If we were to brush off every fail we do, we would care less to try harder. We punish ourselves because we know what we are capable of. check out my post here http://lasserchristian.blogspot.com/2016/04/celebrating-failure.html
