Trial and Error is so important for growth and learning, especially as an adult!

Continue to try and keep at it!!*

I love trying new things and understand that with trying new things comes failure and disappointment sometimes. I’ve had a tough day and decided to try something new because what could feel worse than I already do? But it worked out and felt good (yay). Trying to carry this over into things I actually need to do today though….baby steps

I’ve always hated the intergalactic axiom “Do or do not. There is no try.” Sometimes the best thing you can do is try and the reward comes from the effort and not any abstract barometer between success and failure. Sometimes the reminder “I’m trying” is enough to sustain whatever challenge you were brave enough to invite into your life. “I’m trying” is proof you are doing something, that you‘re pouring your energy somewhere, when your dreams still seem as far as they’ve ever been. I have a 19 year old coworker who is a little bit of a know-it-all and an ambitious athlete and in another person these traits may be annoying but his stage of self discovery is so apparent that these traits are more endearing than anything else; in his trying to come across as smart, as accomplished, as organized and like he has it all figured out, you see the values he’s striving for and in these traits you ultimately see him trying very hard to be Good, at least what he thinks is good. Obviously he doesn’t hit all his goals (no one does) but he tries and that effort is so human, vulnerable, even, if you take a person’s aspirations as insight to their values. And trying to live up to your own values is sometimes all you can do. While you’re in it all you can know is that you’re trying. Trying is like the constant grinding of the millstone in your chest, a slow and persistent change that one day accumulates into something; it harbors the potential for a spark, the freedom to erode, the consistent friction towards yielding entropy in its highest degree. It’s a warm and present focus on the process and not the outcome. It’s that tension in your chest right next to your heartbeat, one fueling the other.

Physical magazines and displaying them is a lost art !!
There are some beautiful magazine covers out there, they need to be appreciated and read.

If you played an instrument when younger, I 100% recommend owning it when you’re older.
I took Flute lessons all my school years and stopped after graduating.
Now I’m older, I‘m really grateful for them. Also, appreciate the instrument much more without the pressure to learn and progress.
Musical instruments are incredible hobbies, gorgeous, and it’s never too late to start learning !!

I love doing this! Outside seating at a cafe / restaurant / bar and just being.
Take a moment to sonder.
Watching others experience life and go about their day.
Coffee or wine in one hand, cigarette in the other - it’s amazing.
