I Love Failure

It is essential, day by day,
to remain responsible
for our actions and decisions,
​accepting our faults
​without assigning blame


33 Years Ago...

Three years ago I wrote about second opportunities that you get in life:

“Today, I am celebrating the 30th anniversary of my motorcycle accident. At fifteen I crashed into a wall with out wearing a helmet. I was left on the street for dead.  By luck, a neighborhood friend was in the area and ran home to tell my brother, Esteban, about the accident.  A few years later Esteban recalled the incident, “you were laying on the asphalt, your head was cracked open and it was disgusting.  I had to scrape every part up and hold your head together until we got you to the hospital. If you were not my brother I can’t imagine that I could do that.”  Lucky me, I made it, with fewer brain cells but still functioning.  :)”
 
Well, today I am celebrating my 33rd anniversary and I felt like I should share some thoughts and make a public commitment:

  • While celebrating my anniversary I know that each day is a gift and I will do my best to appreciate it to the fullest.
  • Before I complain about life, I will think about my friends who left this world too early.
  • Now, I realize that solitude is not loneliness; it is my time alone. My time to reflect on my past, understand my present situation, and the time to draft a blueprint for my future.
  • Finally, the past 33 years, I have managed to conquer my worst weaknesses; yet I still have one monster to defeat; ‘frustration and anger’. I lose my temper easy but so easy that sometimes I feel that I am on the borderline of insanity. So today, I have decided that this is it! I will adjust my attitude, patience and expectation levels. I announce it in public that the life of rage is done!

    Who I am today as a person is largely due to my failures!
    Failures are the speed bumps in life that matter!  They are not regrets but small disappointments that wake up the strength within us! Failures are the process of learning and improving!  Without failures we simply are at a status quo!
