To Stream or Record

I do not know why, but for quite some time I have been suffering connection problems when streaming. I do not know why this is, but everything tells me it is external to my system and house, putting it outside of my control. This forces a question, which is if actually trying to live stream, as I try to do every Saturday, is worth it or if I should instead just record and post a video every week. It certainly is more stable, as then I do not need to worry about the connection to the ingest servers dropping out, but if it is a weekly stream, does it not seem fair that it is actually streamed? I don't know, but I do need to think about it some, if only to remove another source of frustration from my life.

Focus Forward

There are these abstract, amorphous things called 'life lessons' people are supposed to learn. I am not sure how many of us do, but undoubtedly we learn them in different ways. One of them I have been learning for far longer than I wish is to focus forward. Do not let setbacks actually set you back but find a way to keep moving forward. Sometimes that means changing directions and sometimes that means going ahead regardless. It can be hard to know which it is you should do, but it is very much worth figuring out. Personally, I think the path I am on is the path I am going to stay on if only because there is no other path I can see. Options would be nice, but when you can find a measure of satisfaction and happiness with what you are doing, why abandon it?
