Failure Project Day 15 greetings loves. today is the last day of this challenge for me, however, i didn’t want to just stop without saying why. i am grateful for this challenge because it’s helped me to think about how i/we define failure, and what it really means to fail. so i’ve been in a conversation with myself about what are actual failures, and how are what i/we sometimes name as failures, actually maybe reinforcing ableist and capitalist ways of thinking/being. for example, today i didn’t get my laundry done which has been on my to do list for a week. because instead i chose to rest after my client session, listen to free recordings of a conference on dreaming before they expire, and get a haircut which makes me feel good in my body. so did i “fail” at getting my laundry done, or complete all the tasks on my list? or did i “succeed” at taking care of myself and doing things that bring me joy? or both? 🤔 so i need to take a pause on this challenge to contemplate these things more. also i’m curious how y’all think about and define failure because i don’t just want to keep talking to myself about this 🤣. seriously though, what are your thoughts about failure? how do you define it? what does it mean to you to fail? and while you think about all of that, here is my last post for this challenge: ... 1. i failed to fail enough for a daily challenge about failure 🤣. ... #KingYaaFailureProject #ThisBoisLife #FailureisImportant #WhatDoesItMeanToFail #HowDoYouDefineFailure #ProductivityDoesntEqualWorth #DoesNotGettingSomethingDoneEqualFailure ...
