Daily Success November 20 – Disappointing.

Daily Success Yesterday

Success yesterday was fortunate to get to Disappointing. My focus was on Project Pinecone all day with little effort spared for anything else. Even arm exercises got cut off one series before full credit to take care of “something quick” that actually took an hour or two. My bad.

No Spanish. My very bad as a Great Courses lesson was easily available at bedtime. There was just a desire for something that did not require concentration to get the benefit.

Not an excuse, but a truth: most of the day included carrying the dead weight of both exhaustion or fatigue combined with just not feeling well. Not exactly something specific such as the start of a cold, just off.

Success Today

Success today depends on getting back on track, focus, discipline, attention to goals rather than “needed now” tasks. Stretches, exercise, Spanish. Project Pinecone is a key factor, but it cannot be the only thing in life at this point.

Success in the Future

Success in the future requires focusing on what is needed long term to define what must happen today. That starts with taking the best care I can of my body; stretches and exercise. It requires taking care, as best is possible, of my mind; Spanish and Project Pinecone are both good for that, Great Courses is as well, even if my focus is on the less demanding lessons.

Then there is my promise for San Martín, Spanish and exercise.

The right choices are clear. Discipline. Focus. Discipline and focus are the hard part.
