Failure
Failure’s a perspective that’s all it is

A snapshot in time information to give

An objective measure against a fixed goal

Although you reach it you may not be whole

It takes a view that is short term

The value it holds what can you learn

If you want to get from here to there

The critical lesson for you to be clear

What’s missing for you to do

How can you change your beingness too

Use missed goals as your motivation

Tomorrow’s success your salvation

Failure is only a step on your path

Resist generating a sense of wrath

Develop perspective context too

Let them guide how you’re talking to you

One step then another playing the game

Losing today no sense of shame

One critical failure that is well known

Pick up your marbles and head for home

Failure is not in getting knocked down

Failure is staying down on the ground

When you are low facing a cusp

That is the time to pick yourself up

There is no failure as long as you play

Don’t give up the game and go away

Pick something noble profound with great meaning

Play hard every day let your presence be beaming

What have you learned when you did not achieve a particular goal?

Was it the end of your world?

Did you find the experience motivating?

Did it inspire you?

Are you coming up short now?

What are you going to do or say to yourself?
