Failures


 
I know sometimes things to always go according to plan - yes I am quoting the ulgy fat mother with the a$$ on her head from The Corpse Bride - however, that doesn't mean giving up is the best option. Think about it, how long have you thought about it? Planned it? Spent precious time on it? Well sweetheart, things don't always work out the way we want them to welcome to Life and all it's baggage.

Failure -  a state of inability to perform a normal function; an abrupt cessation of normal functioning; a fracturing or giving way under stress; lack of success; a falling short.

You choose. After all you know I am talking about you. No? Well now you know. Failing life is something we all say, sometimes think and feel, but from another's eyes and ears, you are a hero. Okay, maybe not a hero perse, but someone who has felt what they felt or seen what they've seen or lived the life ten times worse than they have. To truly fail means giving up wholey and completely. Is that really what you want? Is that really what you feel or know? Truth is, no one really ever knows. Only Y-O-U. Failing completely only means giving up or giving in. Doubt, pain, grief, tortured, unknown, without belonging - this list can go on for ages. But once you've felt all things on this list and know you are strong enough to wake up, brush your teeth and go on, then NO. You are not the definition of a failure. Trust me. That's what they need to put in the dictionary.

Take that strength you know you have in you and use it against the feeling and thoughts of failing! Know and feel what you are made of. All you failures are pushing you to strive for something greater and you know it.

We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do.
