Failure is just a way for our lives to show us we're moving in the wrong direction; that we should try something different. I was recently reading about a Professor to MBA students ask her students to create a "Personal Development Paper." - In other words a vision statement for their lives. Many of the students, some of the brightest minds in the country, wrote about life as a journey with its own process for success. Yet some talked about how terrified they were at the prospect of failure.
If you really believe life is a journey, then you recognize that not all journeys follow straight roads. You can count on the curves, bumps, detours, uphill climbs - and even the downhill slides. But the greatest lesson is to do your best, ejoy the journey and then release all attachment to what is to come. Let it be. And be comfortable with whatever it is. If you make choice thqat doesn't please your mate, friends, or whoever, the world will not fall apart. Enjoy the journey! Be sure and take your Bible with you! (My study on Proverbs that I'm doing now is awesome!) That's a great book in the Old Testament.
