Failure
When man is thinking or feeling, he is at the same time emitting what he thinks or feels as a fragrance.
He is creating around himself an atmosphere, which expresses it.
And it not only conveys to another his thought and feeling, but it creates for him an answer. ...
You will always find that those who say, 'Everything is going wrong with me', are hearing the voice aloud; it is their own failure talking to them.
As soon as they have been able to silence this voice, the failure is ended; a new page in the book of life turned, and they can look forward to their life with a greater courage and a greater hope.
That person is brave who in the face of a thousand failures can stand up and say, 'Now I am not going to fail.
The failure was only a preparation for my success.'
That is the right spirit.
-- Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan
An unsuccessful man often keeps success away by the impression of his former failures.
We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.
Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise.
