.......and you know what, i've been walking about this weekend saying to myself 'fail and repeat fail and repeat fail and repeat'
I just went surfing, the waves were big and scary....'fail and repeat fail and repeat fail and repeat'
Said something stupid to a fit bird on the weekend 'fail and repeat fail and repeat fail and repeat' - it doesn't matter.
I was thinking back to all the hobbies i've ever had... skating, computer games, mixing, juggling, making music.... EVERY SINGLE ONE involved 'fail and repeat fail and repeat fail and repeat'
I've got a big hole in my wall from the frustrations of trying to mix 2 pieces of vinyl together. I can do it now though, extremely well. 'fail and repeat fail and repeat fail and repeat'
Then i thought about women in my life... theres been a fair few, not as many as I'd like though. I noticed one thing, i've never really FAILED with a women in the way i have with other things. The women i've been with just sort of came to me by chance or while i was doing other things, and drifted off in the same way. I've never constantly failed by approaching them.. 'fail and repeat fail and repeat fail and repeat'
It's the only way to improve my/your game. Mixing skills didn't fall into my brain from the clouds, i didn't wake up one day and think "I know how to juggle" or "i'lll just sit down and make a tune" without learning. it involved frustration, failure, pain, and anger.
'fail and repeat fail and repeat fail and repeat' ...and you'll succeed.
Just wanted to share my little revelation inspired by this post, it's an extra step in becoming the best i can.
