“In this way, failures don’t feel so final; they feel like a twist on a path of exploration. That’s a path I’m happy to take.
Reframe. Refocus. Revise. Rinse. And repeat.” (excerpt from 3 Simple Steps to Turn Failure into Success below)

Which spiritual principles and how have you used them to turn one of your failures, setbacks or slips into success?
Now It’s Your Turn
“Ask yourself if you’re holding onto a failure or disappointment in your life. Why are you hanging on to it?
Seek support from other people who know you and who you trust to give you gentle feedback—especially if the “failure” feels fresh, even after many years.
Decide how you will move forward and use what you’ve learned to create a new plan, to let the past go to make room in your life for your new dreams.
In this way, failures don’t feel so final; they feel like a twist on a path of exploration. That’s a path I’m happy to take.
Reframe. Refocus. Revise. Rinse. And repeat.” (https://tinybuddha.com/blog/3-simple-steps-to-turn-failure-into-success/)

Surrendering to the fact I also have Bipolar 1 disorder makes my journey more challenging like facing a two-headed monster. Keeping daily action as and alcoholic with mental disorder keeps me trudging with hope and gratitude.
Honest and open mindedness…no secrets even if I share to the “wrong” person I share
I used the process of recognizing when my ego was trying to take over and drive the boat. I recognized that I really couldn’t afford this beautiful home even if the bank was telling me I could and I was already in negotiation. My ego was telling me, “Oh my god, you have to have it.” I had to look at the reality of my finances and humble myself and walk away.
I love the idea of passing failure on the way to success. I am so afraid of failure that I fail to even attempt certain activities. I am learning to accept unanticipated outcomes not so much as failures as wonderful, rich learning experiences. Namaste.
Great reminder because today I feel all I have done in life is fail – but each time I get back up in some small way – so I guess it’s good.
I once read that a core belief of the addicted mind is that “mistakes call for judgment and punishment not correction and learning.” When I keep this in mind, I can try to remember to look for the lesson in every action I take and every curve on the road of my journey. I do not have to judge and punish myself before you get a chance to; I can look, listen and learn. I’m not a bad person when I make a mistake – I just have a heap of learning to do. Peace.
