Success and Failure
This week and month has been a very busy one but equally a rewarding and significant one in continuing with my training and taking my overseas relatives out. One aunty I had not seen for over thirty three years. The theme of success and failure came to light, the current place I am working at announced that they will be closing and the owner told me that he hasn’t been sleeping well. He has a six month old newborn to look after along with his wife. I informed him of the practical resources that were available to him to assist him along with his family.
We are used to seeing success being defined as fame, money and attracting the opposite gender. This is very surface level, like seeing a stem and flower of the plant without looking at what is beneath the surface. Failure teaches us lessons and presents us opportunities. We don’t like to talk about struggles, but why? When we need to ask for help, we are seen as inadequate and become afraid. The fact is that no one can do this life alone. Don’t be afraid to chat to someone you feel comfortable with whether that be a family member, a close friend, a trusted colleague and seek assistance when it is due.
