Lesson 208: What Appears to be Failure...

Failure happens in life and it’s more than okay. It can be a tool for us to move through the first passage of the heart which is pain. Today’s lesson is to think of someone in your life that you see as a “failure” and do you notice if they are awakened or not? Do you think they are moving through the passage of pain right now?

I don’t really like to think of any of my friends or family as failures. I mean, we all measure success differently and our paths are never the same as another, so how can we look at others as failures if they are living the very best that they can? I’m not sure this is a lesson for me today. I feel like only those with negative mindsets and those that look upon others with judgement, can really think of someone as a failure.

I think every person leads their own lives, we fall down and pick ourselves up. Sometimes picking ourselves up is slow whilst other times we get over issues in a faster fashion, though I don’t think when someone falls that we should see them as a failure. Who are we to judge for someone living their lives the way they want to? I have no right to categorise someone as a failure.

I do however see people going through the passages of pain. I think when people are ready to open up about it and need some support, they will reach out. There are times when I can sense it and I ask, but I wouldn’t pry into someone’s life when they are in pain. It’s more that I want to assist if they need it.

Anyway, I don’t particularly like this lesson, so I am moving on.
