RE: No rails, but moving in the right direction

in Self Improvement3 years ago

are there some things you do where it's a bit more abstract and harder to define?

You mean do I make mistakes and flounder about, feel clueless and out of my depth? If that's what you sort of mean then yeah, of course! I've actually written about these things here on Hive over the last five years, just in a way that's probably hard for people to pick up on if they're just skilling my text rather than taking the time to read properly. There's so many truths, so much of me in my posts here, but most will never see it.

nothing I do meets my standards and nothing ever will because the closer I get the faster they move

Everyone chases things differently I guess and what works for one may not work for the other. Also, the things we chase are different for all of us, (can be different) and so it's a good thing humans are flexible and adaptable. I'm nowhere near as rigid and as structured as I come off in some of these posts I guess. In business and some other areas of my life (in the past now mainly) I've had to be that way but I'm not always. A look at my posts over the last five years should demonstrate that.

Whatever works is what we should be doing I guess, and thankfully we're all different. 😀

Sort:  

Nope not what i meant (though I have read and appreciate that you've written about some of your mistakes so the rest of us can learn from them XD). Like I guess there's some definite things you can call "ultimate success" like hitting a target dead in the centre, are there things that you do where you're not sure at which point you'd call it a success never mind an ultimate one?

Did that make it clearer or am I just making it worse XD

It'd be boring if we were all the same wouldn't it :)

Oh, sorry I misunderstood.

Yes there’s things/instances where it’s difficult to find an ultimate success-point for sure. I tend to seek continual improvement in most things (outside of work) and so I might do something that constitutes success, the attainment of improvement, and yet isn’t ultimate success. An example is my shooting for instance. I see success as improving rather than winning. Make sense.
