Ready to start again?

“You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” — Mary Pickford

That which we call failure is a part of everyone’s life. It is your attitude that determines if failure is a deal breaker or simply an obstacle to overcome. Each day is a new day and the opportunity to begin again.

How do you view failure? How do you deal with it? Those who allow weakness and fear to control them turn in the rest of their life when faced with it. Those with courage start again and again until they achieve success.

We are the creators of our reality. In order to create the reality of our choice it is necessary to be able to see beyond the obstacles and barriers that appear along our path.

The greatest destructive force in life is fear. In the Ultimate Healthy Lifestyle we realize that fear is simply not knowing. We fear that which we do not know.

We are told that we must confront our fears but if we do our fear will win. Confrontation only adds to the conflict. We must work through our fear. We do this by accepting it and understanding it. Once we understand it, it becomes easy to work through it.

Also we must have clear intentions and precise goals. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times in his attempt to invent the electric light. His intention and goal was strong enough to get him to the 10,001 attempt and success. How strong is your intent?

It is said that we are equipped to handle anything that life throws at us. We can as long as we stay connected to our spirit or source energy. After all life is our blessing and the world our oyster.

Start each day with a fresh attitude and the determination to not let life’s curves throw you for a loop. You are only defeated when you give up. As long as you are working towards your goal it really does not matter if you ever accomplish it.

The joy is in the journey. As long as you are on the path you can experience the joy and if life ends before you get to the goal, it’s alright. You were joyful and life was good. If you stop any place along the way you forfeit the rest of your life.

This is the attitude to start with each day. Failure is only to teach us. Each obstacle and barrier is the opportunity to learn a lesson and become better Human Beings. If there were no obstacles we would remain in a rut, never experiencing the joys of living.

TODAY’S TIP: when ever you feel that you have failed remind yourself that you still have time to start over. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and begin again.

Does your life contain failures or lessons?
