That that does not kill you will make you stronger - life is a continual learning experience - the day that you settle in and are content, with no desire to continue learning - you then have to ask yourself 'what am I living for?' - Life has to be a continuous gradual evolution. Failure can be positive, as you said, it's all about perspective, it's all a state of mind. I am a firm believer that failure breeds success, just as criticism and adversity makes you stronger.

I think you raise an excellent point. Far too often we sit back and wait without ever taking the proactive steps we need to take in order to get where we want to be. The mantra of 'good things come to those who wait' is dated and erroneous (in my mind). I believe, good things come to those who try, to those who do, to those who step outside of their comfort zone and try new things - people who aren't afraid of failure and instead, welcome it with open arms. Failing sucks, of course, but it's all a state of mind - will you let it keep you down? Or will you learn, grow, and become stronger because of it? I choose the latter - I choose to DO new things, even if I might fail - because you'll never know your full potential until you try!Rock on with the cooking thing! What new dish did you whip up?

You are a prime example of someone encouraging others to look within themselves to think outside the box and try new things. You continue to raise awareness on issues that you are passionate about, and you use the blogging platform to spread important messages that people should hear. Love what you are doing, keep it up!

After reading your reply just now I do believe we are coming from the same place energetically, just with different ways of putting it. I DO recognize failure for what it is, and do use it to my advantage. The greatest encouragement I can give anyone on this subject IS to learn from the failures and see how you can do better. If erasing the word from your vocabulary means you wouldn't be able to acknowledge it for what it is, and be able to grow from it, then absolutely, don't erase it.--Sean Patrick Simpson **The Mindset Apprentice** http://www.twitter.com/vpsean Oh Absolutely Mark.
