re-productive...

That's me, hard at work last year in our downtown Vancouver studio, shooting one of our TV series.

Here's the point.

That series is no longer running.  There's two ways to look at that.  The one way calls it a 'failure' 'cause you didn't get a ten year run out of it.  If you think that way you start feeling like all the effort that went into it (and believe me, there was a lot of effort involved...) was a waste. The other way is to remember it as a building block, a step forward, a means to provide for your family and keep learning and giving and growing.  If you think that way you continue feeling like no effort is every truly wasted and you feel encouraged by what that experience was setting you up for in your future.

You might need to remember that with your day today and your life in general.

No effort is ever truly wasted.

You move things with your effort and, once moved, those things have been moved which means you've changed things.

Change is good.

Change makes more change.

And, so long as you keep trying, I think you'll find that the trying you've done impacts the trying you're doing.

In a good way.
