Porn Free Radio, Episode 112, Avoiding Failure.

Hey, this is Matt.

I started recording this episode a couple days ago, and I was actually sitting in my living

room, which I'm doing now.

And it was one of these mornings where I got my coffee, sat down, was going to record

this podcast, and I got distracted by something.

My living room has a patio door, you know, one of those sliding doors that goes out to the patio.

Now, when we got this house a few years ago, my wife wanted me to install a security bar.

You know, one of those bars that kind of provides a little extra level of security for a sliding door so it can't be jimmied open.

And I passively agreed to do that except when she got the kit to do it, it involved using a drill.

And if you know me, I am not handy.

I mean, just last year, porn-free radio listeners would remember when I fell off a ladder

and got my hand caught in the attic trap door breaking my hand.

I mean, I'm kind of clumsy and I'm also not good with tools.

So when she gave me this kit, this bar that she had picked up at Home Depot to install,

it needed drilling and some other stuff and I just put it off.

So basically, you know, for 12 to 18 months, I just did nothing.

And so I'm starting to record this podcast about avoiding failure and realize I'm actually

sitting in a room where I'm avoiding the negative feelings that are associated

for me trying to be handy, trying to fix things. And I don't know where it came from. You know,

my dad was a snap on tool man when I was a kid and, and I don't know, maybe I kind of rebelled

or didn't want to deal with tools or whatever it was.
