– Douglas Adams
I’ve been trying to fail for most of my life, and have yet to succeed at it. I’ll have occasional moments of bitter disappointment, but those are fleeting at best and often lead to something better than I was originally trying for.
Case in point: when I first moved out of my parents’ house, I vowed that if I ever moved back in with my family that would be the standard by which I would realize failure in my life. I moved in with my sister last month.
I’ve been trying to feel like a failure for it, and I’ve had days in which I almost succeeded, but the truth is this is a necessary step in the growth of my business and it allows me to make positive changes in less time. I am now able to pay off all my debts, relocate my studio to the NW 23rd district, and have time to focus on long-term projects for my business. Plus my sister and I get along well, which makes for a pleasant living situation.
I don’t believe people are capable of failure. Every time we go down a path that doesn’t work out, one that does appears at our feet. This is my experience as someone who was denied my chosen major in college, has been fired on more than one occasion, and who has a less than stellar romantic history.
Yet it remains pervasively true to the nature of humanity: the times when we “fail”, we are being led where we need to go. Learning the lessons we most need to learn in the ways that serve the highest good. We might not get what we want or were hoping for, but if we let ourselves open to what life brings instead, we discover the truth of our incredible success.
As you learn to let go of the idea of failure in your life, you discover what a flimsy human concept it is. I channeled recently that life is about learning how to accept love, and so evolve.
Paradise has a learning curve, and life teaches us the lessons of it. No failures, only lessons. Why not enjoy the ride?
I wonder with all your psychic abilities how you still “fail” for my perception of those abilities is that you are able to avoid such pitfalls? So if each pitfall is “meant to be” and ultimately be what you really needed in life then what is the point of having such knowledge or insight?
Wondering…
You might want to check out my post, “Predicting the Future” for at least a partial answer to this quandary.
Basically, my experience is that being psychic is not a short-cut through or “answer” for life. Life just is, there are ups and downs, and personal ego can get in the way of divine guidance for everyone, psychics included. I mostly try to buckle in and enjoy the ride.
Thank you for your response. To play devil’s advocate, then why should people come to you or any other psychic? They should just deal with their life’s up-and-downs and enjoy the ride. Yes?
For the same reason people consult any counselor: for an outside perspective on difficult issues in their lives, and firm guidance on how to navigate them. Not providing a short cut or an easy answer, but clarity about the root causes of issues in their lives and what steps to take to transform them.
