The Myth of Failure
By Dr. Wayne Dyer - 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace
This may come as a surprise to you, but failure is an illusion.
No one ever fails at anything. Everything you do produces a result.
If you’re trying to learn how to catch a football and someone throws it to you and you drop it, you haven’t failed. You simply produced a result.
The real question is what you do with the results that you produce. Do you leave, and moan about being a football failure, or do you say, “Throw it again,” until ultimately you’re catching footballs?
Failure is a judgment. It’s just an opinion. It comes from your fears, which can be eliminated by love. Love for yourself. Love for what you do. Love for others. Love for your planet. When you have love within you, fear cannot survive.
Think of the message in this ancient wisdom: “Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and no one was there”.

Hello my friends,
I made a "direct contact" posting last night which some of you may have already seen, but I wanted to be sure all of my friends had a chance to read this nugget of wisdom, written by Dr. Wayne Dyer, and so I'm reposting it here.
I received this piece of wisdom from someone very close to me.
This person's struggles in life make my own challenges seem insignificant and trivial.
His arrival to this world was a difficult one, and the results were a learning disorder and "ADD", but as he developed I also saw in him much potential and ability, so I did everything I could to help him keep "I can't" from his daily language.
Unfortunately, many others reinforced those limiting words and he chose to believe them instead. Because of that choice he has endured many struggles in his life.
This formed a personal philosophy that only served to make him feel inferior when comparing himself to others.
Many years and many "tribulations" later, I am so pleased to see the personal growth in my younger brother Jim.
My belief in his abilities were not misplaced. He found his calling as a Qigong Master in a way that is another incredible success story in itself.
His growing understanding of this very important concept, that Dr. Dyer writes about, has made a big difference in his life, and gives evidence to us all that it is never to late to learn and improve our outlook and understanding.
So many people I talk to these days, in so many ways express that fear Dr. Dyer speaks of.
As Marketers we’ve all experienced the results of unsuccessful Marketing Systems and interpreted them as failures. Dr. Dyer asks the question: What do you do with the results you produce? Do you leave, and moan about being a failure, or do you say, “Throw it again”, until you actually succeed.
I’ve personally found that the best “prescription” for eliminating my fear of “failing” is by focusing on Love.
I Love myself, I Love what I do, I Love others, and I Love my Planet.
When those things come together for me, I just know I'm in the right place.
Eliminate your fears and succeed!
