"Failure isn't the opposite of success. It's apart of success."

What was your first thought after reading this quote? Me? When I read it, I was taken back a little bit and thought NO THAT'S WRONG, COMPLETELY WRONG! But, it got stuck in my head for hours and hours.. So, I thought about it more than I intended on. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how very accurate it really is.

How is success achieved? Yeah, you could be perfect and get it the first time every time but than how are you learning anything? To really achieve success you need something to work at or for. Failure isn't always a bad thing.. It's more like a lesson, that you need to learn so the next time you get it right. Being "perfect" all the time, isn't really all that cool, is it? If you're always perfect than your going to lose the humble side to you...

Take each failure like it's just a lesson you learned in a class, like when we would go to math, history, English and etc. in school. Each failure that you have could really teach you more than you think, that it possibly could or would..

Take each Failure as a step in the right direction, you just needed to learn a lesson first to move forward and succussed at what you were trying to achieve. This is a valuable lesson to learn in life. It will keep you humble, and not ever getting to the point of thinking you're better than anyone. People get like that if they have that "perfect life".

Last night I was supposed to work on the 7th day of Hepburn method. However I was out of focus yesterday and I had a very engaging day at work where everyone was attacking me from what seemed like all angles and meetings with people... One of which was very useful, the other we made useful in the end.

When I got home I really wanted to smash out my 7 triples at 80% but to no avail. With all the build up in work I just couldnt concentrate properly and kept losing focus, I wasnt paying attention to the timings, I wasnt getting my push ups in as I would usually super set my squats with.

After 6 reps... That was it.

I was practicing a 00:00:05 pause in the hole and was trying a new technique to breath in the hole which I had previously never done before on purpose, it did alleviate the "my fucking head is going to explode" feeling but it will take more practice to get used to I guess.

I dont blame this for throwing me off however, there were other considerations from the past month or so and the stress of work is starting to pile up too, its getting into the busy period but I am fighting every day not to stay longer than I am supposed to in work, I dont get paid over time so my new policy to just work like a slave all day until I am supposed to be off and then leave when I am supposed to.

Tomorrow I am not even planning to squat under a barbell, I will just do a circuit, pushups, squats, swings, kettlebell deadlifts maybe, planks... Something fun instead of the standard sessions to bring some fun back into my training routines.
