Failure is Celebration Time – Positive-Attitude
Failure is Celebration Time
Failure is my favorite subject. For I have spent my life failing. My failures have not been once in a lifetime affaire. They have been too numerous even to begin listing them here. Let me brag a bit more. My failures have never been ordinary failures. Whenever I failed, I was literally on the street not knowing where my next meal would come from.Jim Rohn, the foremost success and motivational guru of our century, and a person I admire most, once said failures should conduct seminars so that we can learn from their failures. That is why I got inspired to write this piece.Failure is celebration time!The history is full of people who failed even thousands of times and what they did with those failures have made humankind lead a life which would have been unimaginable but for those failures. Whether it be Thomas Edison or a Colonel Sanders, their failure have created products and lifestyles which have changed the way the world lives.Therefore, what happens when a determined individual fails and how does failures ultimately become a celebration?People who fail are natural leadersLeaders Do. They re-do. They do not wait for precedence and play safe. They are looking at the future and willing to take calculated risks to embrace a future that would make life better for others. They are perfectly willing to fail in the bargain. They take responsibility for their failures and learn from it. They have passion for what they do and improve upon their failures and persist until they make a success of it.People who fail learn moreThe leaders thrive on failures. They in fact seem to welcome and embrace it. Because they know they can make a difference, they never fear failure. They persevere in spite of failures. Every failure for them is learning on how not to do something or how to do it better. For the achievers failure is the way of life. Every failure makes them that much more determined to succeed.Failure as a weaponFailure is a weapon for true blue leaders. They learn the disciplines through their failures. They sharpen themselves against the grindstone of failure. There is no excuse for failure, only a determination to succeed.Failures programs you to successEvery failure has a built in mechanism to auto correct and reprograms you for success. Therefore, failures are just a way of programming you to improved success. You only need to activate the auto correct mechanism and give it all you got for it to work successfully.Fear of failure is the biggest roadblock to your success. When you have overcome the fear of failure, you have overcome your procrastination and excuses for inaction. Thereafter you are well on your way to fail, learn, and succeed like never before.If you have started to fail is not it time for celebration. You are already well on the road to success!This article is copyright
Easter Traditions: Seven Ways To Add Meaning To Your Family Celebration
Easter Traditions: Seven Ways To Add Meaning To Your Family Celebration
Family traditions connect us to past and future generations. They provide
meaning and connection, as well as a sense of ritual and comfort. And they
can create - and help to preserve - some of life's most moving moments.Easter traditions can help to usher in a season of love, rejuvenation, and
abundance. Here are seven ideas for sharing the sweetness of this special season:- Start a kindness wreath for your doorway. For the week of Easter, give
each family member 10 or more ribbons in bright spring colors. Each time a family
member reaches out to someone in kindness during the week, they simply tie another
ribbon onto the wreath.- Ask your children to make a special drawing or a collage that depicts what
Easter means for them. After you display them during the Easter season, scan
them or take a photo and record the artwork in a special journal or album
for a treasured Easter keepsake.- Create a Garden Journal. Cover a composition book with spring patterned
papers or photos/clippings of your favorite flowers. Document the process
of creating your family garden this year. Make sure to include photos of
your family members digging in the dirt. Record their favorite flowers
and their favorite part of working in the garden...and, of course,
lots of journaling and flower pressings.- Fill an Easter basket with cheerful messages, handmade cards, or simple
gifts. Then leave the basket anonymously on a friend's doorstep.- If you have young children, video- or audio-tape them singing a fun
seasonal song. Tapes of "Here comes peter cottontail" and "Little Bunny
Foo Foo" can make treasured mementos. Share the tapes with distant family
and friends.- When it's time for your Easter brunch or Easter dinner, give each guest
a 6x6 sheet of cardstock and ask them to handwrite a couple of special
messages for the holiday...perhaps ways they are feeling renewed or grateful
in their lives. Snap a photo of each guest and create a quick and simple
6x6 mini-album as a keepsake featuring one page for each guest (with their
photo and contribution.)- Make some handmade Easter greeting cards to send to family and friends.
Or renew friendships by hostessing a card-making party where each guest
makes 5 to 10 friendship cards. Make a point to send out five cards this spring to
people with whom you would like to rejuvenate a relationship.This holiday, may you embrace and celebrate the beauty that comes into our
lives through our family and friends. (And enjoy lots of chocolate!)Susie Cortright is the founder of momscape.com - http://www.momscape.com and
