There in no such thing as FAILURE!!
Excuse me!
Who would actually have the nerve to say such a thing?!
Especially, to men and women struggling with:
-
Addictions
-
Lost Dreams
-
Betrayal
-
Rejection
-
Financial Disasters
-
Serious Health Problems
-
That miserable feeling of waking up one day and realizing that a decade or two or three has past – and you haven’t achieved a fraction of your goals and ambitions in life! And you’re wondering if “it’s too late for me?”
Without question, one of my favorite and inspirational motivational speakers, Dr Wayne Dyer can speak to us about FAILURE. Having spent most of his childhood in an orphanage in Detroit after his father walked out on the family, struggling thru two divorces and then spending the end of his life suffering with leukemia – Dr Dyer can teach us a thing or two about how to face FAILURE…

This may come as a surprise to you, but failure is an illusion. No one ever fails at anything. Everything you do produces a result. If you’re trying to learn how to catch a football and someone throws it to you and you drop it, you haven’t failed. You simply produced a result. The real question is what you do with the results that you produce. Do you leave, and moan about being a football failure, or do you say, “Throw it again,” until ultimately you’re catching footballs? Failure is a judgment. It’s just an opinion. It comes from your fears, which can be eliminated by love. Love for yourself. Love for what you do. Love for others. Love for your planet. When you have love within you, fear cannot survive. Think of the message in this ancient wisdom: “Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and no one was there.”
That music that you hear inside of you urging you to take risks and follow your dreams is your intuitive connection to the purpose in your heart since birth. Be enthusiastic about all that you do. Have that passion with the awareness that the word enthusiasm literally means “the God (enthos) within (iasm).” The passion that you feel is God inside of you beckoning you to take the risk and be your own person.
I’ve found that perceived risks are not risky at all once you transcend your fears and let love and self-respect in. When you produce a result that others laugh at, you’re also stirred to laughter. When you respect yourself, stumbling allows you to laugh at yourself as an occasional stumbler. When you love and respect yourself, someone’s disapproval is not something you fear and avoid. The poet Rudyard Kipling declared, “If you can meet triumph and disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same . . . yours is the earth and everything that’s in it.” The key word here is impostors. They’re not real. They exist only in the minds of people.
Follow your right brain, listening to how you feel, and play your own unique brand of music. You won’t have to fear anything or anyone, and you’ll never experience that terror of lying on your deathbed someday, saying, “What if my whole life has been wrong?” Your invisible companion on your right shoulder will prod you each and every time you’re moving away from your purpose. It makes you aware of your music. So listen—and don’t die with that music still in you. |
