Just remember that sometimes that fear of striking out for your dreams is there for a reason. In dreaming that life can be better, remember it can always be worse, and quicker and harder than you think. no one talks about when you take the big swing at life and miss, I did…. right now im facing no job, bankruptcy, giving my pets away, and probably the streets or suicide, as i dont have the strength to live on the streets.

We have not truly failed until the time we stop trying. @Omar, thank you for your feedback. It's great that you also see it as just making a course correction! @Alex, we beat ourselves up when we perceive ourselves as failures or having failed.

We can be so hard on ourselves. It's just learning what doesn't work and correcting our course. Beautiful article. Thank you. I like this. We can be so hard on ourselves.

Failure can sometimes be a tempting option because it provides a built-in excuse to stop trying, but deep down in our hearts we know better - we know we need to experience some failure to order to grow and appreciate the success.

True....True... @Katie, thank you for your feedback. I'm glad that you can begin to see that anything that unexpectedly crops up can be part of a Divine Plan. Over the past one day, I had to make some costly changes to some arrangements. What prevented me from becoming negative about the new plans was the awareness that all was in Perfect Order (even though I might not know the Bigger reason for the changes right now). Yes, just enjoy the journey and make peace with every moment of now. @John, thank you for your feedback and sharing the success quote. I have felt sorry for myself several times in the past, likewise. However, I know now that it is wiser to break free from a negative mentality to a more empowering one. Wishing you every success in your journey of life! @Stephen, what you disagreed on had me laughing! True….True…

I personally have been through more than my fair share of difficult times. As human beings, it is very easy for us to feel sorry for ourselves when it starts getting rough. However, we need to learn lessons from our bad experiences, and then help others navigate when they get in similar situations. "Success is falling nine times and getting up ten."

Obama's is such a call to action; I love it. This is such an important post because it reminds me that it is okay that a path doesn't seem to work out. It is still all a part of the Divine Plan. How refreshing and perfect a reminder as I go into a day of work with some big steps I am taking today. Your post reminds me not to be attached to the outcome, but to let the journey be the most important. Be well and thanks! Katie Evelyn,

It is golden! This was a wonderful article and I agree with it almost completely. I do disagree with one point however: "We learn as much from failures as we learn from successes. " I think we learn far <strong>more</strong> from falling down than we do from success. :-) Evelyn, I absolutely love that Oscar Wilde quote. It is golden!

I think we learn far more from falling down than we do from success. :-)

A few years back I took a years worth of improv classes and there were plenty of moments after class where I felt disappointed in my performance during the exercises. My initial reaction was that I stink as an improvisor and that I wasn't funny. But after I re-framed this feeling of failure and embarassment, I realized that I had come a long way from being a quiet, shy dude to someone who was willing to stick myself out there. After re-framing this reaction, I always gave myself credit for trying. Evelyn:
