When you lose the fear of failure, you are set free.
This freedom may happen early; it may take you many years.
Or you may glimpse it in the last breath you take.
The choice of when is up to you.
But freedom finds us all, at one point or another.
So that anything you have suffered up until that point simply vanishes into true understanding.
When we begin to understand our selves as the Divine beings we really are, all suffering is understood in a new way.
We understand suffering as experiences.
We let go of fear.
And we begin to simply attend to the process at hand of living: of growing, expanding, understanding, deepening.
Thus: don’t think of failure as an end, a block, a tragedy.
Consider failure as a step of growing.
Consider failure as the way you will eventually become free.
Fail, fail, fail… fail again!
Each time look up and see “I am still here.”
Each time look up and see “I am still worthy.”
Each time look up and see “I am still soul.”
Continue to fail… a million times!
But don’t stay in the cocoon.
It’s musty in there. Too warm, too wrapped up. You’re dead in there, a shroud.
Break open into this life, and fail.
This is the path to freedom.
