Starting Over
There are times when we have to admit we’ve taken a wrong turn. There are times when we hit a dead end and we have exhausted every single possibility. This isn’t admitting defeat. This is realizing we took a wrong turn and going back and starting over on a new path.
We have to do realize that occasionally we make mistakes and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s a learning experience, but we have need to see things for what they are if they are not going to plan.
Edison didn’t see his 10,000 attempts at the light bulb as failures. Why? He saw himself as simply eliminating possibilities, and with each failure he had a new way to try to create a light bulb.
His failures propelled him to try all the harder.
Our failures should do the same, they should push us to try harder and start something new. It’s not a time to give up, just a time to give up on one way of going about seeking our dream and finding another way.
