Friends – on LinkedIn, people talk about their successes with posts that are packed with great insights and messages of hope and inspiration. 💥 ❣
Meanwhile, I am here to keep you informed about my odyssey into mediocrity through my consistent failures. 😧😩
And the reason I do this? So that YOU might LEARN something from me. Heaven knows we all need to hear from people who try their best, and still fail to succeed.
Back story. My family bought me an extravagant box of Haigh’s Chocolates for Christmas – because this is my favorite gift of all time. 🎁
On Christmas Day I opened the pack and consumed some chocolates – accepting that in the new year, no more sweet treats for me.
On Boxing Day, we left for a short break, and I wondered if I should take the chocolates with me – but I hoped that the family would eat them while I was away.
I returned home on the 2nd. Guess what? Chocolates were still there – calling out to me with their decadently lovely chocolatey scent. 😋😋
So I ate them. Every last mouthful of chocolatey goodness. Hazelnut praline. Milk mango fruit. Dark peppermint crème. Macadamia nougat. Salted caramel. Turkish Delight. Yep. All of it. All gone. 😵
And it was divine.
But I FAILED. 💣🧠🖤
My excuse was that I didn’t want to hurt my family’s feelings by not adequately appreciating the gift they so lovingly bought for me.
Tomorrow is a new day. Back to good habits. 🤞
I’d like to thank Priyamvada S for putting me onto healthy habits, and Zubiya Rauf and Jane Anne for encouraging me to post about my failures. They assure me that no one will call me Failure Lady because I post about my failures. 🤘 🤘
