This week

I can't believe it has been a week again since I last blogged. Not that that much has happened. I nearly sold the Vespa but not quite. Really getting quite desperate to sell it, but hey if no-one wants it not much I can do about it. Going to write little ads over the weekend and put it in shops around chorlton and see if there are any results.

I did have a bit of a brain wave and deep moment this week. One of those light bulb, realisation moments. There is no such thing as failure. Let me explain.....If you do happen to make a mistake or make a decision that in hindsight may have not been the best, your life doesn't suddenly stop. It doesn't suddenly slow down and you don't die from it. Every situation you face and every consequence of every decision you make actually teaches you something. You can't actually fail, all you can do is change direction, learn something new or try again. (Obviously this is not quite the same in math exams or such situation- I'm talking about failing in life- you can fail in them, but even then you can try again and again)
Mainly this thought came about when someone said that Canada may not work out and we may find ourselves back in England having failed. But I realised that that wouldn't really be failure just a different turn of events. Failure is something our very competitive society has put on us- the permanent striving to be better then someone else- the others- who are richer, better off etc then us. But life isn't about winning and failing it's about living. It's about enjoying every day with its ups and downs. It is a relief to know that I cannot fail at life but just learn to take a different road, go in a different direction. The seeming failure is merely an opportunity to try something new and what a privildge that is. I think I am finally learning to be a person who sees the glass halve full instead of halve empty.:o)
