what if perfection isn't magical

we fail more than we succeed. or so we think. because often it might just be better for our own good if we fail. if we don't get that fast car we wanted. if we dont make the front of the newspaper. if the relationship we so badly wanted to work doesnt work out. or even better - if we get what we want only to realise how insignificant that achievement, that goal, that prize, that recognition, that "perfection" actually is.

"success" and "perfection" isn't always magical. but failure can be. for it can transform you to love yourself in spite of your "imperfections"... it can show you to next time choose wisely in looking for a companion...it can create compassion, empathy and understanding for others who have "failed" just like you...it can surprise you with a feeling we all long for, brotherhood, community...it can enchant you with new friendships, new family...it can transport you back to your roots, to your true home...it can crown you with a quality mastered by few, humility.

learn from your stories of "failure" and you will rewrite your script...look beyond the the veil of "imperfections" and behold, the reveal of the sacred you...open up to the gospel of "failure" and you will welcome a heaven on earth...
