I have to be honest--I have never failed at anything I felt strongly about doing... Things that I have put all my mind and energy into, I have succeeded...
The things I have not done well on are things that have not interested me. If I could pick them back up, oneday and say--I want to do it--would I fail? Well, the way I see it now is my life path is to go in a direction of greater harmony for my own inner peace so that I can be an asset to this world... So, say I want to be a "nuclear physicist"--my reasons for wanting to be that are less than honorable and are diametrically opposed to that self-determination that my life is destined to go. Why try to separate things, than fusing them together?
The other things I do not like to do are things related to economy and business--I don't like those things, I hate learning them and I would fail if given a test for them. I admire folks who do pursue these things, there are some discussions we have and if a child I knew wanted to pursue this area, I would help them get there. But as for me--no...
Plus, I think the ONLY failure folks have in life, in general, is when they fail to act on their dreams...
