Every setback you experience is
July 29th, 2010Every setback you experience is a ‘little death’ that makes you wonder where the balance is in your life. Even if this wondering is done ‘sotto voce’.
Failure is a turning point that forces you to examine your life. And, it is only then that you can be open to change.
Sense of Power
When you have lost money, approval in the eyes of others, self-esteem, shelter, and friendship, what kind of power do you have?
You have the power of your mind, which translate into
the power to figure out what went wrong and to correct it
the power to reinterpert what happened to you and put it in the most enabling scenario possible
the power to reinvent yourself by
reinterpreting your story
relabeling yourself
expanding your options
options before you if you choose to see them
The very thing that seems to render you powerless can, if viewed rightly bestow an inner power that no one can take away.
What am I asking you to make out of this?
If there is one lesson I want you to take away with you it is that failure can only render you powerless if you let it.
