Learning the Good Fail

Today we’re bringing you the final episode of the current series and taking a look back at some to the topics we’ve discussed over the last year, asking how we can put what we’ve learned into practice.

HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT THE GOOD FAIL NOW THAT WE’RE 3 SERIES IN? 

We’ve discussed a wide range of topics over the last three series and in our current times The Good Fail feels like an important source to draw from.

HOW CAN THAT GOOD FAIL TOOL BOX HELP US WITH LIKE THE WORLD BASICALLY ENDING?

We’ve not always taken our own advice on this podcast but unlearning PERFECTION and practicing PERSEVERANCE is a good place to start. 

WHAT OTHER TOOLS DO WE HAVE IN OUR BOX?

We talk through what we’ve learned about OWNING IT, RESILIENCE and KNOWING OURSELVES to better help ourselves grow and change more effectively. 

DOESN’T THAT SOUND LIKE A LOT OF EFFORT?

It’s always going to be one step at a time. Finding POSITIVITY and remembering the alchemical process of NEGREDO might help.

CAN POSITIVITY REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT A TIME LIKE THIS?

Our situation won’t change but our perspective on our situation will. While the world seems to be going through it’s own NEGREDO process we’ve also found GRATITUDE a powerful tool to staying present.

WHAT CAN WE CONCLUDE ON ALL THIS?

We can definitely, 100% succeed at doing The Good Fail during a world wide pandemic by adjusting our EXPECTATIONS, being kind, GENEROUS and FORGIVING to ourselves and others.

WHAT’S OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS WEEK?

Abra & Merle Hunt

It started with finger painting, progressed to reams and reams of stick figures, scribbles, mother eating ghosts and anatomically incorrect spiders, grew into days spent in our room creating fantastical worlds we would draw and write about in fastidious detail, blossoming exponentially outwards as all encompassing hobby transformed to dedicated passion, when all school work came complete with intricate borders and full page drawings; we found new ways to express our inner world by breathing life into characters on stage and we counted the minutes we had to spend doing sports and maths lessons like they were hours. Later our creative zeal focused into a three year bachelors degree in illustration and a masters in creative writing, with it all finally culminating in a half finished illustrated novel, launching illustrated stationery business Merle Made Tales, collaborating on commissions for wedding and event stationery, getting the first few paid acting jobs and launching this podcast. One way or another, we were always going to be creators.
