Fail at all your challenges

Challenges come at us every day. Today I've been challenging myself in the field of marketing. It is really a trial for me because I get overwhelmed by all the options. But I still do it, because it is a challenge... and I fail as often as I succeed because I'm learning.

I'm okay with that.

I would rather be moving than just standing still stagnating; I would rot from the inside. However, this is not movement for movement's sake, it is motion with a goal. Sometimes I sit still with a goal.

I often fail at that, too.

I'm okay with that.

I'm okay with trying and failing because my life is abundant despite falling down. I can make a long list all the positives in my life; here are a few: I woke up today, the sun was shining (I also like when it rains because the flowers grow), I can see the computer screen, I had emails from people I know, my cats gave me "hugs", my husband game me a hug and a smile, I played games yesterday and had a blast with some friends.... I could go on.

My life has much abundance.

Even if things aren't going well- when I was laid off, when my father died, when I was in my motorcycle accident- my life was good. Despite those struggles, I had much to draw energy from. For example, some nice woman stopped when the truck hit me off my motorcycle and called my work and my husband to let them know I was being airlifted to a hospital. I will probably never see her again, but people can be wonderful (thanks Donna where ever you are!) It is in remembering the good that I get the energy to face challenges. Even failure.

Heck, if I didn't dare myself, push myself, and work on myself I wouldn't grow myself. Yes, I also wouldn't fail, but where is the fun in that?

So, fail at all your challenges: but still life a joyful, abundant life.
How is your life abundant? How can you draw energy from those things? Remember those things when you are struggling, and move forward into the challenge with joy.
