Failure

Original post: April 16, 2021. Edited.

Failure can mean something different to each of us. Failure to make the grade or get that next promotion. Failure to pay bills on time. Failure of a marriage or of that big business deal. Failure in child rearing. Failure often follows the mindset of “I can’t”.

I tend to see my life as just one big compilation of failures. I see my weaknesses. Yet someone, outside looking in, sees my strength.

After the original posting of Determination Behind the Dream, my friend, Matt, and I had discussed it in-depth. He said:

“Remember…failure is more about failing to try rather than failing the adventure.”

What he said is absolutely true.

He helped me with an adventure in October 2019. I flew out to Maine and rented a car for the first time in my life at age 58. I explored Maine on my own when my friends were busy with their Airb&b. It was a great personal experience for me. One that pushed me outside of my safe-little-circle to where the magic ✨happens.

I’m still a scaredy-cat of sorts, but I am getting much better at tossing my fear aside so I can enjoy the freedom of dreams and adventure. Yes, I am quite ready to leave my comfort zone.

Conquer your fears. Lasso your dreams. Be somewhat independent even if it’s a little weird for you. Step out of your comfort zone and into the circle where the magic ✨ is. Change your failures to successes. Live a little more adventurous. Make your dreams reality. ♥️
