Be grateful for those that are feeding into you and those you are feeding into. Lately, I've been forgetting to be grateful for those around me in my pursuit to be better. I get so caught up in wanting to be better that I don't appreciate what I have at this present moment.

1 Question for this week: Who can you say thank you to this week?
Failure Journal:
I forgot to eat before a presentation which made me shaky and the presentation did not go as well as I had hoped. In the future, I am going to eat something before even if it takes time away from preparing for the presentation.
My video didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I didn't spend as much time on my projects as I would have wanted.
I failed at bowling and at billiards. I got too heated, angry, and competitive and it affected both my game and how much fun I had. In my pursuit of being the best, I forgot to take into account the people around me and I need to fix that because the people aspect should be the most important, not me "being the best." This goes back into being grateful for those around me and being better about just staying in the moment.
Successes: The weather outside was nice and I got to take time off to enjoy it. All my presentations are done and I am basically done with school. I also got to meet with people and found a bit more clarity with who I am and also where I want to go.
