Failure!

A dear friend did not achieve something she wanted to achieve.  She was down on herself and felt like she let others down.  I have surely felt this way.  Perhaps, you have too.

We went back and forth with thoughts and ideas.  I remembered that I had two great thoughts from two great women on their interpretation of failure (from watching Super Soul Sunday on OWN).

I'd like to share these with you.

Failure is not the opposite of success.  It is a stepping stone to success.
Arianna Huffington


It leads one to bigger and better things. 
It is God moving us into our best direction.
Oprah


And, then I added....

This is not what is best for us just now. Be open to what is.

I thought these were pretty brilliant thoughts on failure.  So, I'd like to offer if you find that you are failing or have failed at something, may you be open to any or all of these possibilities.

We either win or we learn.  Either way, it's all good....  just maybe...

May you allow yourself to process the feelings and thoughts that come with 'failure' and may you be open to receiving guidance on your best direction.
