MY THURSDAY THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK – Consider – which is a better life teacher success or failure? Success can teach us many things – what works, what feels good, what is of value in our life or the life of others etc.  But, here’s the problem with success lessons – they tend to prevent us from looking at what isn’t working or wrong or how what we are doing could be working even better.  Consistent success tends to keep people stuck – yes, they have had many success benefits but imagine for a moment if they could achieve even greater success if they would learn to see past their success to what could be? What can failure teach us – (your turn). What has failure taught you during your life? What has success taught you? Now the tough one – which lessons do you feel – over time - were more valuable or beneficial? Anyone who has ever achieved worthwhile success has faced trials, failure, adversity, etc. Failure, adversity, challenges, trials, etc. are not what is happening to us but how we respond to it, react, deal with it, learn from it or use it for something good. Think of success and failure as teachers. Some of the lessons are painful and some exhilarating but, in the end, – which tend to be more valuable?  If you are a success freak you probably disagree with me with the premise of this concept.  If you are a huge success, I’ll bet you “get it”.
