Failures

As I sit and reflect on my life,
I see many failures( small 
breakthroughs in disguise).
Everything that I saw back 
then, as me failing at 
something was really a 
set up for me to become 
victorious.
Failures are training ground
for us to learn and grow from
our mistakes.
So when I look back failures
were (delayed) opportunities 
to be triumphant in the future.

Gershon Wolf May 23, 2019 at 6:54 PM Yes! Small breakthroughs in disguise -- so perfectly penned, Alexis.... Everything is for the best and is meant to be, somehow. :) gw

Ralph Sergi May 16, 2019 at 7:18 PM Hi Alexis: The best way to overcome failures is to learn from your last mistake but maintain your established ego because all arts such as writing poetry includes an ego that wants to be appreciated and we all know that's true!

CayCay Godwin May 13, 2019 at 9:23 AM YES and yes. Failures are growth opportunities as are many life issues that we allow to stress us, depress us and agitate us - I find tough changes and failures are all opportunities the universe delivers. Really like this write. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
