Try and Fail and Try again

Better to try and fail, than forever wonder what might have been….

Not that there’s really any failing because in the journey you will love and be loved, get nearer your goal, and probably realize that you should have dreamed bigger, to begin with, as you pluck that baby from the tree of life on a subsequent go around.

If things look different, think

When something difficult or painful happens, always look to see what it makes possible that wouldn't have otherwise been possible.

Like a new adventure, a closer friendship, or chocolate in your peanut butter.

Everything makes you better.

Learn at your own pace

Empower, celebrate, and free them all

That someone is you

I know what it's like. I've seen it played out a few zillion times: You're waiting for that magical day when someone makes the connection and recognizes who you really are. 

Maybe they'll first catch the sparkle in your eye. Or perhaps they'll marvel at your insights and the depth of your spirit. Someone who will help you connect the dots, believe in yourself, and make sense of it all. 

Someone who will understand you, approve of you, and unhesitatingly give you a leg up so that life can pluck your ready, ripened self from the branch of magnificence.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh... 

Well, I'm here to tell you,  your wait is over. That someone is you. 

Good thing you rock. Think about it if you want someone to catch the sparkle, and recognize that you have "it"--whatever "it" is, you have to believe in yourself. Simple to say, tough to do, but needed if you want to be the hero in your own play.

There are many ways of convincing yourself that you have it, there are gurus out there that will show you the better path, there are affirmations you can say every day. There are self-help books and people who will tell you how to be in touch with the universe. They are all trying to help, but the only one who can help you is you. Why not give yourself the spotlight, all you have to lose is ....
