SOMETIMES I FAIL

SOMETIMES I FAIL

The traffic was crazy.
I was late.
People were waiting for me.
My stress was building as I pulled into the parking lot only to circle six times before finding an empty space.  Running into the restaurant I blurted out a rather uncharacteristic rant of a not-so-nice kind. 
I saw the shock and surprise on the faces of my friends. 

Later I couldn’t get the image of my rant and the reaction it spurred out of my mind.
I thought of the ways I want to live my life. 
Sometimes I fail.
I fail at being the person I want to be. 

I want to be PATIENT and KIND with others, with life situations and with myself. 
            Sometimes I fail.

I want to be LOVING by sharing love and positive energy with everyone I meet and in every space I stand. 
            Sometimes I fail.

I want to be OPEN to all views and opinions, because I believe everyone has a path to walk and it is not my place to judge, criticize or blame. 
            Sometimes I fail.

I want to be AWAKE and AWARE of the small and grand messages of Grace that I receive. 
            Sometimes I fail.

I want to be someone who WALKS HER TALK and models the lessons I have learned and the concepts that I teach. 
            Sometimes I fail.

I want to be CONFIDENT in knowing that I am who I am --and that I am Good Enough!
            Sometimes I fail.

I want to be SILENT and LISTEN to my heart sing the messages of my soul that guide my life in a peaceful way. 
            Sometimes I fail.

I want to be CAREFUL with my voice.  Words Matter and carry with them power when they are sent out into the world - I want to choose them with care as I know that once said or written I cannot take them back. 
            Sometimes I fail.

I want to be GRATEFUL at all times for the people, things and experiences I am given in this life. 
            Sometimes I fail.

I want to be FORGIVING of others and myself and let go of the past so that it doesn't take away my future.  
            Sometimes I fail.

I can’t go back in time to that day and erase my rant or the unkind words that I blurted out to those I care about. The best I can do is realize that sometimes I will fail at being the person I want to be and to love and forgive myself-- as in every failure there is a lesson.  

Pennie’s Life Lesson:
 “Accept that sometimes we fail and    with every failure there is a lesson.”

YOUR TURN...         
My intent in sharing this with you is to confess that I am not perfect...none of us are.  Although we may not intentionally mean to hurt someone or break one of our own personal guidelines...it happens.  Sometimes we all fail.  That doesn't make us a bad person -- it makes us human. 

How have you failed and learned from it?

    There is a certain magic about where I live both physically and spiritually – on the crossroads of Spirit and Brave. 

    It seems appropriate that my writings be found under the sign that locates my life.  I wish for all of you the ability to live in your Spirit to experience a life filled with love and gratitude and be Brave in the learning of your life lessons. 

    Enjoy!
