Most of us wish we could improve things about ourselves. However, change is difficult, especially if we don't know what we want to change. Beyond Failure is a self-help reflection of possibilities filled with concise and thought-provoking, down to earth true stories and dissections about the universal affliction we call failure. From the Author: I have FELT LIKE A FAILURE most of my life. Even as a child, like many children, I felt alone in my humiliation. I didn't want to accept what, deep down, I knew to be true: That I was flawed. What exactly was I doing that kept me locked in my shameful prison? I needed to know, what I did not know. And thus, began my transformational journey. As I stumbled forward, my ignorance combined with my false assumptions and self-doubt prolonged my painful pursuit. I used the light of truth to guide me, however, this proved to be a challenge, as I will elaborate on throughout these pages. The reflection of light had to come from within me not from outside of me. I was scared. This was a new reality. My light was barely visible. I began questioning my self-imposed labels, transformation followed. What appeared to be my largest stumbling blocks were, in fact, my future stepping stones. Within the rubble of my failures I found what I was seeking. Failure was not what I thought My journey brought me to a crossroads. I found myself at a junction where I could either continue in my futility, or change my paradigm. In my weakness, overwhelmed by the burden of my failures, I gave up. In the depths of my despair, shrouded in darkness, I surrendered. No longer could I pretend to know what I did not know. Everything around me, everything in my experience, was a reflection of what I had been focusing on. I had been the author of my own predicament. I had mistakenly smothered my own success. Freedom from failure lay before me. Liberated, I embraced my vulnerability and a miracle began to unfold. Within Beyond Failure are some of the more memorable lessons, insights, and understandings I have gained through close examination of my own personal setbacks.
