Epic fail, and moving onward

To fail with grace is a trait that I have yet to develop. I'm not horrendous in failure, but I don't have full composure and control over myself.

I had 5 failures today. Some were more consequential than others, but 5 important things went more wrong than right today. One of these by itself would be enough to dim the brightness of my day, but the combined effect produce near nightfall on my otherwise sunny outlook.

I am reminded of a quote I enjoy by Winston Churchill:

"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."

And thus I move today from one failure to another, hoping that I am able to maintain my enthusiasm in all areas, and move forward to the outcomes I desire.

But at the very least, I hope not to burden others with my misfortunes. Rather, through the gloom will the light be shining, onward and up. There is always good.
