Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

There are many important questions that relate to one situation or another. I find that there is one question that is more important than most in any situation

What did I learn?

That is the more-important question. I try to accomplish things that I want to accomplish. I have a goal. I work hard towards that goal. At my age, I have become more realistic in setting goals. Still sometimes, it all flops and I fall flat face-down in the mud.

What did I learn?

I cannot choose all the outcomes, but I can always choose to ask myself this question. I write this post at a time when my professional life is not bringing the results I want.

What did I learn?

That question keeps staring me in the face. I guess I had better get around to answering it. Maybe there will be another chance at another thing. I can’t afford to skip the learnings of today when I face tomorrow.

Let’s do better. Let’s learn.
