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. Alexis Y. 5-11- 19

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!

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

Hi Alexis, you have triumphed in your poetry firstly and secondly you have captured the hearts of almost all at Poetry Soup - two triumphs already, and I don't know about the many many more you have achieved. But yes, I agree, through failures we find success! Such a great write Alexis. Hugs, Jennifer.
