Thought of the Day: Why Failure Isn’t Final + Question of the Day About What’s Always in Your Fridge

Thought of the Day: A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying. — B.F. Skinner

Question of the Day: What are 3 things do you always have in the fridge besides eggs and milk?

What Today’s Thought of the Day Really Means

Let’s start with the Thought of the Day, because it hits home: not every failure is a mistake. Sometimes, it’s just life handing us circumstances we’re doing our best to navigate.

We often measure ourselves against success and outcomes—but what if the real measurement is simply this: Did you keep going?

Because that’s what matters most. Not how clean the win is, but how relentless the effort is.

Trying Hard > Winning Easy

In a society obsessed with results, we forget that persistence is a win. We’re taught to fear failure, when in reality, the only real loss is quitting altogether.

Today’s Thought of the Day reminds us that doing our best—despite the odds—is never the wrong move. Don’t let your efforts be erased just because they didn’t lead to perfection.

Let’s Talk About Your Fridge: The Question of the Day

Every post here includes a daily Question of the Day—because asking questions leads to better conversations, deeper self-awareness, and (sometimes) laughs.

So, today’s Question of the Day is a fun one:
What are 3 things do you always have in the fridge besides eggs and milk?

My top 3:
1. Decaf Iced Tea (gotta keep life sweet).
2. Leftovers from a meal I overestimated.
3. Yogurt Smoothies for the kids (a fridge MVP).

Your fridge says a lot about your lifestyle. Are you the type who always has a bottle of cold brew ready? Or are you the “three types of mustard” person? There’s no wrong answer—but we want to hear yours.

The Real Mistake? Giving Up

Let this Thought of the Day ride with you today: doing your best matters—even when it doesn’t look like enough to the outside world.

Every small act of effort counts. Whether it’s in your work, parenting, friendships, or your own healing—just don’t stop trying.

Even if today feels like a loss, your effort is not wasted.
