"I haven't failed. I've found ten thousand ways that don't work."
-Benjamin Franklin

How often do you consider what you did a failure?

What a shift it would be to look at failure as simply something that didn't work and move into the next moment open to the possibilities.


We are a culture that has placed a high value on winning and losing so there is a lot of failure passed around. As kids begin to engage in win lose activities at younger ages I wonder what impact that will have on the next generation. Often failure results in quitting, it doesn't motivate us to keep looking for new inspiration, idea's, or techniques.

How do we begin to unravel failure and see that great things lie in being willing to look at life from Benjamin Franklins perspective? Creativity abounds if you are willing to look at life this way. It is a life giving way of being.

How do people view themselves when they have failed a class, divorced, gotten fired, gone to jail, dropped out of college, not made a team, didn't apply for that job, ran away...we can "fail" at something only to find our greatest gift because of that so called failure. We can find 10,000 ways that don't work and on that 10,001 try we nail it!

Perspective...it's a beautiful thing.

Take some time to notice your beliefs around failing?

Does it support you to create a peaceful loving environment within and outside of yourself?
