Failure is seldom caused by a major catastrophe.
It is a series of little failures.
Success is the same.
Create small successes.

1. Message of the Day
COMPLETION ANXIETY
Messies often wonder at a phenomenon they see in themselves -- their own reluctance to finish projects. You know the story. You begin a project enthusiastically, work with vigor, but just before it is fully completed, the
air goes out of your interest. The materials you are using are left sitting out or the papers are set aside waiting for your passion to rekindle. But it just doesn't seem to happen. Not only is this frustrating because the job is left hanging
over you, but it leaves a mess behind. This phenomenon has been labeled "completion anxiety."
What is going on here? One idea is that if and when we complete it, the result will be evaluated either by others or by ourselves. Since we are perfectionists, this idea of evaluating the finished project makes us very nervous. Not finishing helps us to avoid that discomfort.
Is there an answer to this problem so we can move on to a more productive way of life, one in which we complete the jobs we start? The only answer is to challenge the underlying perfectionism. We do that by facing our fear
and doing what scares us, finishing the job. In this case, the JUST DO IT slogan definitely applies.
"DONE is better than PERFECT."

3. Habit of the Day
JUST DO IT
Do not wait till you feel like it.
Do not wait till you feel like it.
Just move your body through the motions like a robot if that is all you can do.
Face the fact that some things do not inspire.
It is nice to want to. But do not wait for the humor to hit you.
Just do it.
