I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 2: My Try at Poker
For my 2nd day of this project, I decided to play Texas Hold 'Em poker with my boyfriend. I had never played before; he plays quite frequently. So I expected myself to fail miserably. If it were not for this project, I doubt that I would have attempted to play this game, for I hate to fail. But, having entered this game with a mindset for failure, I gave it a shot.
Result: I had fun. AND I WON!!!! I won all of his money :-) We weren't playing for real money, since I thought I would surely lose all of my money. But you can bet that I will play this game again!
This goes to show you that I underestimate myself quite a lot.
Onto the next attempt at failure, whatever that may entail...
