Day 11 – Saying YES to FAILURE

Today I say yes to failure because it has made me who I am. I have failed many times in my 30 years of entrepreneurship. I trusted the wrong people in business and I did not trust my intuition.

There was a great financial cost to these failures. There was also great human suffering and turmoil.

It has made me look deep inside to see how I attracted these people and situations in my life. I had to take responsibility for creating everything. I had to learn that there is nobody to blame – not even myself because blame does not solve any problem. Blame only keeps us stuck.

I learned that a great deal of what I was taught by family, friends, teachers, my community and my world was an illusion. I changed my beliefs. I discovered my own truth. I learned that nobody is the source of my own good except my Divine Source. And I learned that I am my Divine Source.

Today I shared with someone that I was going to write a blog post about failure and her response is that there really is no failure. She suggested that failure is what makes us experts in the areas we are here to teach. She is right because we have to learn a new way for ourselves to solve the challenges in our lives. And then we can share what we learned with our world. In this new economy that is what we are being called to do. So the “so called” failures are just our learning ground.

And if life was easy every step of the way it sure would be boring!
