I love spending time with young kids. Recently, my five year old nephew and I watched a tv show about a team accomplishing a task. Their first attempt was not successful. One of the characters said, "We didn't fail; we just discovered a new way of doing it wrong."
I was flabbergasted. What an optimistic perspective to teach children. Before hearing these words out of the mouth of a cartoon horse, I had not realize the power of my own self talk. In the past two years I have tried to relocate to opposite extremes of the country: the Caribbean and northern California. Sometimes I feel a little confused, but generally I don't regret any of my decisions. I use daily affirmations and prayer to stay focused on my truth. I tell myself that I accomplished my goal of living in a location, even if it was only a brief stay. Finding my ideal home is not a failed goal. I'm just perfecting my strategy to fulfill my deepest desires. I know I can shift my definition of success. It's less about place and more about my potential. Commitments I make to my supreme self. It takes a strong mind to recover gracefully from doing something wrong. A strong mind comes from a balanced ego. Knowing that every breath is renewal, devotion to universal love eliminates attachment to illusion. The ego cannot survive outside of illusion. Breathe into your limitlessness. Oh, and that thing I learned from the tv show: One lightning strike has enough energy to power 150 million lightbulbs.
