Good afternoon,
Sometimes when you think you have failed at something you really are just being directed to go a different way. There was a lesson there to be learned. Take it and move on. Do not linger around beating yourself up about the situation. Keep moving forward. As you know, I believe everything happens for a reason. Find the silver lining in every situation and stick it in your mental file cabinet. I like to think about the silver lining like the movie “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate factory”. Inside a few of the chocolate bars was a golden ticket. The chocolate may not have been good for you but the ticket will lead you to a better future. Don’t focus on the chocolate …focus on the golden ticket. To fail at something does not make you a failure. A failure is someone that gives up. They no longer put forth effort. As long as you keep getting up and attempting to be better the next time then you are not a failure. I have found this to be especially true in relationships/marriages. If it all falls apart, some people feel that they are failures. If you worked for a major corporation and it went under do you go around blaming yourself for the demise of the company? Nope…. You pack up your belongings and start looking for a new gig. In a relationship/marriage, it takes TWO people to make it work. If you do not have the effort of that other person then there will be a breakdown. At that point, you can only work on being a better person for future relationships. Do not let society place labels on you. We have all failed but it has never stopped us from trying again. Be strong. Be grateful. Be happy.
We were created to be great!
AND remember never be afraid to fail….something good always comes out of it.
MAKE IT GREAT
