What have I failed at?
Am I a failure?
In this moment where have I failed?
When I review March where do the failures reside?
When I look at this year thus far, what if anything as brought success?
When I look at my life where have I actually failed?
Did I fail to:
- break an addiction
- lose the excess weight
- stay in my committed relationship
- live debt free
- keep my job
- step into my leadership
- earn enough money this month
- keep an immaculate house
- grow my business or meet my sales targets
- keep my staff employed
Maybe all I failed to do is:
- reach out to my community
- honor my power
- define success on my terms
- listen to my inner voice
- take my next most powerful step
When failure comes wrapped in scarcity, I actually have a choice. I can wallow in what isn’t or I can shift my thoughts toward sufficiency which allows for me to accept what is true—that I am enough.
All great questions that ramble through my head depending on the time of day and the circumstance I find myself in.
Maybe all I failed to do is: … a great section because it is the truth when we fail, or rather, what we make failure mean is all a matter of the context in which we hold it. Failure to me personally is knowing when I did not give my best effort. Failure is not about making money or holding down a “regular” job. Failure seems to rear its head when I know in my heart I didn’t give my best!
