My dream is to go skydiving on December 23, 2047 on my 100th birthday. By then whatever happens, happens. But in the meantime I keep putting one foot in front of the other knowing that failure is simply part of a bigger plan... with all things working together, prayfully,for good but we'll never make it if we stop living. So if you're above ground, be happy, live another day and chance on doing something worthwhile. Then you can't fail. We're blessed. Failure comes when we forget that.

Then in my spiritual pursuits, it is said that if you fail, it's because you had wrong thoughts, lack of faith, or bad karma. What if 'failure' is part of success and happiness? What if falling down means that when you get back up, there is something even greater waiting for you? What if I fell down, only to stand up and triumph? I am learning to honor 'failure'. Thank you for encouraging a new mind-set. Blessings! I grew up where failure was not an option.

What if falling down means that when you get back up, there is something even greater waiting for you?

What if I fell down, only to stand up and triumph?

I am learning to honor ‘failure’.

Thank you for encouraging a new mind-set.

Blessings!

I have been building my business and have experienced lots of downturns, I wanted to give up so many times and confinced myself that I just can not do this business, that I lack of capital and resources. But here I am, still doing it, even more excited in doing it. And today, knowing that even the Mighty is the same is trully giving me spirit. I can do it then, just like them. Cause we just the same. Just move forward! Thanks for telling and sharing that falling down is common to experience in business.

I do not mean the day before Or those of months ago, But all the yesterdays in which I had the chance to grow I think of opportunities That I allowed to die, And those I took advantage of Before they passed me by. And I remember that the past Presented quite a plight, But somehow I endured it and The future seemed all right. And I remind myself that I Am capable and free, And my success and happiness Are really up to me. ~~James J.Metcalfe IT’S UP TO ME

I get discouraged now and then
When there are clouds of gray,
Until I think about the things
That happened yesterday.

I do not mean the day before
Or those of months ago,
But all the yesterdays in which
I had the chance to grow

I think of opportunities
That I allowed to die,
And those I took advantage of
Before they passed me by.

And I remember that the past
Presented quite a plight,
But somehow I endured it and
The future seemed all right.

And I remind myself that I
Am capable and free,
And my success and happiness
Are really up to me.

~~James J.Metcalfe

The unwillingness to lay down and die WILL bring an end to this crisis. I've always thought of myself as persistant, and this article reminds me that I need a structure to remember that, when I have just been take down a notch. Thanks Wanda I agree.

Thank you for the wonderful message of hope to rise up again.
