Confucius said that one is great not because he/she hasn’t failed, he/she is great because he/she were not stopped by failure. That applies to all aspects of our lives. It applies to the times we want to get in shape, lose weight, or struggle in a relationship. Failures happen. They happen to all of us. They hurt. The only time failure has any power is when we hand our power to the failure. When we get up and try again and again, we defeat failure. It doesn’t matter how many time we try, what matters is the time we knock it on it’s ass and head forward.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
