Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:00)
Welcome back to the Empowerment Diaries, a short podcast.

I’ve talked about the season, what about your idea of failure? We’re talking about faith, understanding that good and bad times is all part of the picture.

Faith doesn’t override our life. Faith doesn’t bring just good. It’s everything all included. Faith to me is understanding that everything that is going on is part of the bigger picture. So is it now time to rewrite our ideas and our understanding of failure?

When we see a baby learn to walk, we do not say to the child, the baby, well you failed for not walking, though I must admit I was a late walker. I’ve been told many a time that it was my sister almost a year younger than I that taught me how to walk.

But that didn’t stop me from learning to walk, did it? We need to start having conversations about failure. What does it mean for us? Is it okay to fail? It should be, right?

runners don’t learn how to run or sprint overnight there’s a few stops and starts lots of things that we do we have to learn how to do it through falls is time is it not to look at failure as a necessary part of life

and often it’s our fear of failing that prevents us from doing new things so that we can experience the very growth that we’re here to have in this lifetime, to experience in this lifetime.

I would love to have a conversation on here about failure. What does that mean to you? How many times have you failed to get to the successful space that you are into at this moment right now?

Can we now see failure as the necessary opportunity for maybe redirection, preparation or just proof that we are brave enough to try, inspired, ambitious enough. For many a year in my childhood I would hear that I have no ambition and

I see myself as someone that doesn’t really have ambition I have dreams. Now I do believe it’s possible for many of my dreams to come true and I will say there are some dreams that now will never come true so yes one would say I have failed at those but even to have the

gall, the balls, the audacity to even dream of it being possible. Well kudos to you and to I, to me in doing that too.

I have had been on quite a journey.

and there’s many a time I thought wow this is my break this is the time when I’m here to finally succeed only to fall right back down on my backside to learn that no this is not the time of any great elevation this is just life as it is.

so many lessons and I am in the season as much as I am now here talking and using this podcast to connect and express there are some things that we’re learning and I’m learning very late in life one needs to take some time to allow to be in the soil and just let it just do what it needs to do in the soil until it’s ready to come into the light.

and on the surface that can look like failure but I’m also more confident when I’m making decisions and decided to just leave things in the soil I’m more confident to just get on with it without explaining it there is no need for the explanation now

failure is it the opposite of success or is it part of the journey to success do you think without failure we cannot succeed right unless you’re someone that immediately gets it right isn’t it part of success failure let me hear

your greatest failure and I’d love to hear your reflection as to what it opened for you. We’ll talk about the not so important my second marriage which wasn’t a marriage but you know in getting married it opened so many doors to include purchasing the property that I’m in now.

mindset change. so what is it that you’ve been doing that maybe you’re failing at now or have done in the past that you now realize okay yes i’m failing at it but what is life telling me what doors are closing what doors are opening

denial take it as a blessing right you’ve been listening to Lita goddess of growth today I do thank you do come in and communicate and connect have a good one
