I’m Sorry That You Feel Like You’ve Failed

August 3, 2012 9 Comments


Falling is an inevitable part of dreaming, the bigger the dream the further you are going to fall.

Have you fallen yet?

Why do we fall?

We fall because we are broken, because we are young, because we are weak, because our sights are set so high.

Everybody falls, the dreamers who say they have never fallen are lying to you and they hiding their wounds, do not believe them.

Falling is a magnificently bloody, wonderful sport, so fall majestically with all your heart; don’t you dare try and hang on and avoid the inevitable… fall goddammit FALL!

Falling is the fourth step in dream chasing, and it tears away the final remnant of any umbilical attachment that you may have to the ledge of security, falling sets you free.

    Failure is inevitable; it happens to the best of us. When it occurs, it’s how we respond that ultimately determines our long term success or lack thereof. As always, you are sharing some short, powerful thoughts here.

      Thanks Kent… What do you do with the pain?I am sure a number of our readers want to move on… BUT enough disappointment without processing correctly can take anyone out?

        Geoff…that’s a great question. To be honest, I’m not sure exactly how I process it. I do know embracing what I call a “E+R=O” mindset helps me a lot (i.e. Events plus my RESPONSE equals the Outcome). In this equation, the only thing I am 100 percent in control of is my responses, so that’s what I try to focus on my responses more than events. In other words, no matter what comes my way…good or bad…I want to completely own my response.

        Bottom line, I have found this approach shapes my outcomes much more positively than if I remained focus on the events that occur in my life, many of which are out of my control.

        Make sense?
