Failure

I had a long history of fearing failure.

I was fearful that I would fail as a child, sibling, friend, significant other, student, employee, supervisor, husband, father, and even as a driver.

I used to believe that my fear of failure pushed me to be better at everything, however, it only left me feeling unsatisfied. No matter how successful I thought I was, I still felt like I was failing someone.

Eventually, I discovered the motivation behind my actions dictated how I felt.

So, I released myself from the need for approval and success and I altered my motivation to living in the joy of existence.

Simple appreciation for this amazing experience we call life is the key to my joy.

Knowing that every experience has happened in my life for my greatest good, gives me peace.

Accepting the fact that everything works out in the end allows me to focus on the present moment.

Living in this present and generous moment is my definition of success.

May each of you find and embody your definition of success.

You are Love and Loved.
