Wow, do I feel like a failure on a daily basis. Failure as a mom, a wife, a spiritual person, a businesswoman. Failure when I let myself stop and take care of myself, failure when I lose approval. In the past few weeks I've been faced with the reality that I've lived in such terror of being a failure that I've sabotaged my own success. I've been so petrified of FEELING like a failure that I actually do all the time--staying busy to run from the feeling. Today, I let you all the way into my pain, the bottom of my darkness. Learning to finally challenge my inherited definition of failure--& changing it to ACCEPTING myself, in every moment, no matter what she looks like. And when I do that...I'm a total success.
