Chances...Take advantage of them

Chances
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th...
Life is about more getting more chances. But why do so many of us not take advantage of that? One of the reasons I think we neglect more chances is that we view failure the wrong way. When most of us fail we feel:
  • Embarrassment
  • Shame
  • Guilt
  • Pity
  • Sorry

But really we should not feel any of those when we fail?

I have failed big time. In fact you can see the dent of the failure in the Midwest. Big time failure in the public and most people's eyes. I see if differently. I did not fail. I learned. But for that, I would not be where I am today or more importantly the person I am today. So really did I fail? To me, heck no.

Given that, I have more chances to get things "right" and get where I want to be in life: spiritually, business, personally, relationally, mentally, and physically. I am going to jump on these chances and improve! How about you?
