Success and Failure

'Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss in enthusiasm' (Sir Winston Churchill)

Who is afraid of failure, it is your ego, the psychological 'I', isn't it? Wandering along the Tao you have learned over and over again to just react to the invite of the Tao to dance with you. You interact with people, you react to situations. Sure, you have your agenda but you leave its implementation up to a higher authority, not because you want to deny yourself, but because you have learned that when She gets Her way, everybody benefits. The concept of failure doesn't make any sense, so you keep your mojo either way because even when you dislike an outcome, you cannot wait to see what lies in store at the end of the tunnel. There is only one occasion when you can get depressed, and that is when you chose your agenda over love. Well, don't sit there being depressed, go and apologize, backtrack your steps and your enthusiasm will return before you know it.
