Failure allows us to develop the essential quality of humility.

It is not easy- when you are the person experiencing failure- to accept it philosophically, serene in the knowledge  that this is one of life’s great learning experiences. But it is.

Nature’s way are not always easily understood, but they are repetitive and therefore predictable.

You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are being most unfairly tested, you are being prepared for great achievement.

Lead From Within: Failure seems to be nature’s way for preparing you for great responsibilities.

Lead with Purpose

Messages From Within

A man on a white horse rides behind her and announces,  “I am here.”

“And he will be tall and handsome and charming,” she continues oblivious to her visitor.

“Ma’am?” the prince repeats. “It’s me. Prince Charming.”

“And he will have a great sense of humor and he will be a great lover……”

” Listen to me!!! Prince Charming pleads. I am already here!”

“And he will pick me up and carry me off and we will live happily ever after…..”

At which point the prince shrugs his shoulders in defeat and turns and rides off.  In the final frame of the cartoon, the woman is still staring off into space, sighing, ” Yes, someday my prince will come….”

Are you too busy living in the future or the past to notice the happiness and opportunities that already exist in the present?  Happiness will not arrive on a white horse at some vague future date to rescue you from your illusions.

To enter the world of real magic, open your heart to each second, each hour, each experience, and let it guide you to the precious peace of the present moment.
