Whereas all he could see was endings, we’d been methodically creating beginnings & would ultimately have a far more fulfilling life as a result. We could have played it safe all these years but we’ve experienced more, learned more in the process & discovered more of what we want along the way. The regrets are few & far between because the choices are always ours. We’ve traded certain kinds of success for another, more lasting kind & – w/all these so-called failures behind us – we’re set up for one hell of a win. Given the context you provided for failure, no wonder we get accused of having not grown up but YAY US..

He was also my ass kicker when I first started this freelance writing zaniness.

Anyway, great post. You’ve made a subscriber out of me.

I really do believe that. I’ve written on my blog about a deep personal loss (a child) – a job, a house, eh – that’s nothing. I had a conversation with a co-worker one day, she was concerned about her job if such & such happened with my company. I just started laughing, because as long as I’m alive, I can and will get to where I want to be, somehow.

That’s the key – to internalize the fact that LIFE GOES ON. If you lose your job, you can survive. Lose your house? You can survive. It may suck, but you can survive, and it’s not the end of the world.

And now you are reminding me too.

Thanks!
