^Every day is a brand new start. It has to be that way. Any
other way leads to insomnia and chronic physical problems. Go to
bed with an sad or angry heart and that's what you wake up with
with bad dreams inbetween. I've been there - that's why I work
so hard on fighting it. All battles are internal ones - fighting
the demons inside. Situations come at you in life - but it's how
you react that helps define what and who you are - and what and
who you appear to be (which are usually, alas, two different
things). You will fail. You have failed. I know this because I
have failed and will fail again. BUT - each of us will also
SUCCEED - you and me and all that we know - and while failures
are easy to measure and count, successes are messy and difficult
because they are mixed with little failures and complexities -
but they ARE still successes. You don't have to forget the
failures to celebrate the successes - but please, celebrate the
successes, both of yourself and especially those of others. For
celebrating the success of others really benefits you more than
those you are celebrating - for it is you who will go to bed
with a happy heart that is light and free of worry and sadness
and anger. Forgiveness and celebration let you sleep deep and
have happy dreams. It takes constant work on your part - for it
is an internal battle you are fighting that nobody can see - but
the results are concrete and real. 2012 at 10:36pm EDT^^^
