We're on the same wavelength with your last post. H and I just discussed the status quo thing last night. After our spat, I asked him, "Now what" and he replied, "Status quo." I reminded him of something we talked about years ago, that in a M, you're either growing closer or further apart, but there is no status quo. I think the "fail" check comes from that .... our progress was not growing closer as I would like, and therefore was growing farther apart.
I get your question about what do I want to do to be more successful, but I look at it more in that there are simply things I'd like to do, or to do better. I'm not a success monger. In fact, I've loved being a contractor for years because I get to stay out of the political backstabbing and just enjoy my work. So for me personally, just getting more organized and knocking some to-do's off the list. Simple things, like putting together a preparedness kit. For these I have a number of lists that I maintain or recreate occasionally. I do a bunch, I don't do them all. My main one right now is completing my degree, second is purging the house of way too much stuff. My prior one was a rebuild of the deck, patio and sidewalk (which turned out fabulous, btw.) There's always something being added or removed from the list.
