Me and Ferny had a Goal today- Rip out the carpet and pull out the carpet tracks or tacks or whatever those little monsters are called. With a Plan to start installing the laminate flooring this weekend.
I was working on my task and needed a break. I plopped down on a strip of the little monsters And it felt like a Lego with claws. I very dramatically threw myself on my back and was expecting Ferny to call 911 - instead it was total silence.
After throwing myself dramaticly on the floor and being ignored , I stood up and accidentally stepped on top of another little strip (bare foot) again I threw myself on the floor and rolled around thinking Ferny had already called 911 and they were on their way.
Nothing!!! Not even a band aid or a tap on my back saying you got this!!! Nothing!!! So it was in that moment that I gave up.
This photo is what giving up looks like. I was so close to success. So close!!!!! So the point of all of this is that I was reminded of a quote that I love.
"Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." — Thomas Edisonide de
Don’t be me don’t give up!
