Failure is FANTASTIC!!! the ant CAN move that rubber tree!


I fail at things all the time. So do you! Come on, admit it!
Well let me say real quick, HAPPY EASTER!!! What a beautiful day it was too! It’s almost over, but I wanted to get this post in before the day ended…
Do you think that our mother’s (and most of us WERE born) had any fear or doubt that we would be born? Did they feel like a failure when the first PUSH didn’t produce a baby, or when the Doctor told some that they needed emergency surgery to deliver you?
I am pretty sure the answers to the questions really don't matter all that much, because as you all know from the fact that you are here reading this…feeling like a failure or the act of “failing” either in the intent or in the action, did not stop any of them, they still succeeded!!!
I am simply saying that failure is part of the process. I think we are supposed to fail, sometimes to keep us humble, and sometimes to make us appreciate success more. Failure is important!
Did you gain weight this week? Did you forget to work out? Did you eat too many Easter Eggs or Chocolate bunnies? (I had three eggs) You might have failed in the planning, but your goal is still attainable. Maybe it was getting too easy for you, or maybe you got too cocky about your plan. You have to make the choice now to get up and move forward. CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD. This is merely a rest area on the way to your destination.
The other side of the choice I mentioned is to give up. Whatever your goal, Spiritual, Mental or Physical, giving up is something we all know a little bit about. If you aren’t where you need to be, it’s mostly because you don’t want to be, I’m just being honest, I know this because I gave up because I was lazy. I gave up because I didn’t trust that I could reach my goals.
So let’s all try and be supportive of our failures, celebrate them, THEY EXIST! ACKNOWLEDGE THEM! Throw them a party, and then move on!!! Failure is part of the Journey, and important part, because they make us take a close look at what we did to create them and because they make the reward that much sweeter when we get to our destination! (Take that anyway you want)
FAILURE IS FANTASTIC (say that the next time you fail, say it out loud and be proud to own it)!
HAPPY EASTER, GIVE THANKS FOR THE DAY AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR TO YOU! And come back and see me again!!!
