The Failure Blog
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 at 10:49AM
I am becoming more and more fascinated by the subject of failure.
My interest can be summed up by the question "what is the gift that failure has to offer?" I am convinced that changing the way that I/we experience and anticipate failure is one of the keys to enabling a breakthrough into living a more powerful life in all its facets.
Right now, failure feels to me like a beating. My desire to avoid that beating, constricts me in so many ways into living a much smaller life than the one I really want.
At times I can get, intellectually, that risking failure is the biggest opportunity for growth. At other times I can't even see that, and at no time have I mastered this potential opportunity mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
This is one of my biggest areas of fascination right now.
Expect more musings on this topic.
