“Failure is not an option.” This is a quote made famous by the movie Apollo 13 and attributed to NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz (although he never actually said it). To me it’s a perfect quote. Fortunately, I am never really in a situation where it’s all or nothing… where something like that would have to come out of my mouth. Sometimes it’s easier to wallow in the familiar waters of mediocrity than to see what the temperature is like in other bodies of water.
If you came here today looking for some positive reinforced affirmations that will put Eye of the Tiger on repeat in your mind, sorry. That’s not my bag today. I’m just not feeling it.
I hope Frank decides to watch Apollo 13 today. I think I need it.
