Just Keep Doin' What You're Doin'

Feeling discouraged lately. On and off the mat. So naturally, I look to my on-mat experience to inform my off-mat experience. On the mat, I'm feeling like I will NEVER get forearm balance. Will I ever get to the place where I can just float up and hold it on my own, solid, every time? It seems like I've been working on this pose forever and it's not happening. But the effort counts, right? Or so they say. I feel like I should be all "Bhagavad Gita" about it and "Be intent on action, not on the fruits of action". But I like fruit, damn it! I want to see results. Still, I'm gonna keep doin' what I'm doin' and try the pose at least 3 times each time I work on it and just go through the steps that I know will get me there and try to be content at the end of my trials. So here's the off-mat bit. I'm feeling discouraged about a job-related situation. No matter what I do, it seems like this area of my work will never be successful. It seems like everyone else can do it but me. What's wrong with me? I try to use the wisdom I gained from working with forearm balance and just do my best and not get so caught up in the results, but it's hard. Keep on truckin' and focus on what's good about what you're doing and the fact that you're even doing it.
