It's okay to fail.

So, obviously, I didn't make a post yesterday about my amazing upcycled lamp shade. EPIC FAIL.



 As I began to cut into the shade I found out a few things.
1. I don't really think things through.
2. There are NO side supports on this shade.
3. I didn't have a back-up plan.
well, poop. So I had to run out to the store and buy a new shade and come back to the drawing board.

But that's the best thing ever-
I didn't get defeated. I didn't get down on myself. 
I learned a lesson(maybe check it out all the way, have a back up) and I'll keep going.So for now, the doily's are chillin on my worktable and I started a new project. I'm going to keep thinking about the doily's until I figure out a solution, but I'm not going to give up. I have faith in me. I'll come up with something eventually. and it wasn't a failure, it was a learning experience. I totally know how to tackle this when I get a new plan together!

 Until then, we'll just say this project is to be continued...

BE BOLD

Take fantastic leaps towards the unknown. 
That thing that you fear?
Conquer it.
Do it.
Procrastination be damned! 
Go live your life NOW.
Take your future in your hands and make the steps to make yourself happy.
Need more education? Go back to school.
Need more money? Go over your finances...do you really need that $5 Coffee? Cut back.
SAVE! Every penny counts.
Want to be more artistic and creative? Do it! Scribble, doodle, splash color, but do it! 
PRACTICE REALLY DOES MAKE AWESOME!
But above all, BE BOLD. Don't wait for fate to deliver that special path to your door. Go out and make it happen. No more excuses, no more "I can't because..." If you want it, be positive, think and ACT.
 Make it happen. 
And 
Start
TODAY!


(IT REALLY IS THAT EASY)
