Failure

Good morning and happy Friday! It’s almost the weekend (unless you’re like me and take today off of work 😁)

Failure. We all fail in life. Be it in kit job, with our family, failing our friends, or just something we were doing, we are going to fail.

But we can’t let that failure define us. We have to get back up, dust ourselves off, and try again. “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work” ~Thomas Edison

Failed 3D printer print

Just today I was trying to 3D print a cookie cutter for a friend. I started the printer and walked away. A few minutes later I go to check it to make sure everything is good. Well it wasn’t. The print didn’t stick to the bed and ultimately it failed (photo attached). I didn’t let it get me down. I stopped it, cleaned up the mess, figured out what I forgot to do, and started it over. I didn’t get all flustered that I failed, but dusted myself off and tried again.

Life isn’t easy at times, and we are going to fail, but don’t dwell on that failure. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try it again.

Enjoy today, because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. And always remember to shine your light!
