monday morning musing: let's lose the word "failure"

Lose the word "failure"

I think we need to chat about "failure". In fact, be prepared for a two-part series on it because I am a bit frustrated! :-)  (Forgive the quotes -- I will only use quotes when discussing this word.  You'll know why in a moment!)  I have been hearing far too much about "failure" lately and I am here to put a stop to this mindless chatter!  I propose we take the word out of our vernacular entirely.  The word just makes us feel bad and keeps us from moving forward.  (I have an idea about failure - -read next week to see!)  What is "failure" anyway?  Not living up to your expectations?  Not living up to your expectations?  Not living up to other people's expectations?  Worried what other people will think?  Worried about money?  What is it precisely that bothers you?  Then got over it!  If you never "fail", you have never done anything out of your box.  You MUST watch the Feel Good Moment today -- it is awesome!

  This video is one of my favorites!  I saw it first on FB and couldn't get the source to share it with all of you.  I was thrilled to find it on YouTube!  Enjoy!

I see "failure" as not learning from an experience. Experiences may be pleasant or unpleasant and they maybe uncomfortable because I have pushed beyond my normal boundries. As long as I learn from them, I view them all as positive moments. They teach me about myself and the direction I want to walk in this life and that is exactly what I want. It is all good!
