The wisdom of failure...

I don’t believe in failure. Failure is just information and an opportunity to change your course.

— Oprah Winfrey

“It’s just information” is my favourite saying lately. It took me a loooooong time to get that. Information exchange (communication) is highly underrated, particularly when it comes to relationships. My favourite therapist talks about “clearing” and how critical it is to the health of a relationship. I used to avoid communicating because I was afraid of people’s reactions (anger/yelling). I now know that there are constructive and generous ways of communicating that promote healing, trust and good will (how do I feel, how do you feel, what do you need, what do I need, are we able to accommodate each other). It took (and still takes ) a lot of practice, mind you. Just sayin’ :) Hugs.

Blessings,
