"Failure is an event, never a person." ~William D. Brown~


At times we have wondered if there is hope for us. But, in fact, we can all succeed at finding peace of mind. We can all achieve self-respect. The most financially successful man may be proud of his achievement but it doesn't satisfy him. By the same token, failure doesn't define a man. When we understand that our actions aren't who we are, we will not feel trapped by failure and can pursue the greater prize of becoming a better man.

Today we may be troubled by a recent failure or haunted by an old one. We are embarrassed about it and feel like we have lost the high regard of friends. This failure can propel us into greater wisdom and stronger understanding of how to live a life with value.

Today I will take the spiritual leap away from basing my self-esteem on what I do toward basing it on who I am.
