Keeping at it!

There is an old adage by Robert Schuller that says:

"What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?"

I am constantly in the midst of some crisis or project and when I  think about is, my answer would usually be a solution to the current issue. Instant gratification baby! 

If I could just constantly have perspective; be able to lift my head out of the scrum and be able to see the whole game. I want to live my life as if the small and big rocks I have to scale are all part of the game...almost giving it texture and interest. I do not think an easy life is always an appreciated life. I certainly need the adventure!

I read a few interesting books, one by Byron Katie "Loving What Is";  Michael Newton's "Journey of Souls" and also "Full Catastrophe Living" by Thich Nhat Hanh, to name a few.
And because I practice Reiki and Yoga I am also very interested in holistic health. Good articles/blogs or newsletters on how our emotional state affect our physical health:

All good and what it assists with is understanding that "failing" is a perspective and if I choose to look at my life through those glasses, then that's all I see. But if I choose to believe I am destined to succeed...well, then life becomes so much deeper and richer and filled with purpose.

And while another crisis unfolds - I keep at it :)
