So, in line with our plans for 2011, we launched a new NYC Halloween website this week. It wasn't exactly what we wanted to do, and we have bigger plans in the future, but this is a nice stopgap to take care of 2011 and also to use as a platform to springboard some ideas off of for 2012.
This got me to thinking about what it means to accomplish. Sometimes, people think that if they do not do exactly what they want, or achieve a goal exactly has they dreamed, that in the end what they really have done is fail. However, that kind of thinking and attitude is what psychologist refer to as "all-or-nothing" or "black-and-white" thinking, and it can be quite dangerous and really hold you back in life. If you only see things as success or failure, you will miss out on all of the little accomplishments and success that you achieve, and you will also fail to learn from your "mistakes" or missteps when you fall short of achieving your goals.
For example, even though this website is not exactly what we had in mind, it is a positive step in the right direction, and it will definitely help us in many ways as we work towards a better future. That, I think, is the secret of life - always strive to move forward, and even if you stumble, are forced to take a sidestep, or get pushed back a few, if you keep on attempting to reach your goals you will get there. And, surprisingly, you may also encounter some surprising success and milestones along the way.
Work hard, and you will accomplish.
