Failure as Feedback

One of the principles of NLP–neurolinguistic practice (I think that’s what it stands for!) is that all failure is merely feedback.  Actually, they don’t believe in failure.  It is just the results–always–of a successful experiment.  Our difficulty lies in the fact that we continue to do something we already discovered doesn’t work.  It’s changing our minds about how to move towards a new goal in a new way.

Doing something different to achieve different results.  I’m not sure why that is such an amazing concept that often takes me MUCH time to prove.  I believe it is those persistent inner voices that insist it should be the way it is “supposed” to be.  And that perhaps I’m doing something wrong in the continuous (erroneous) behavior–or better yet–I’m just simply wrong and it will never work for me.

Successful mistakes are brilliant.  Dissatsifaction is an excellent motivator.  Spirituality is gained through massive imperfection.  Stumbling through the day helps me learn to fly.

Today riding on the back of a magnificent swan-or better yet–a Canadian goose the size of my sweet sportscar!  She sqwaaks as She leads a V-shaped group of giggling angels along the scope of the endless lake.  From shore to shore of the day I am carried.
