For You

Hello there!

If it's your first time here, then I want to welcome you to my blog and if you've been here before, whether by accident or purpose, I say, welcome back dear friend!

I want to thank all of you, new and old friends, for (still) being with me. I am still surprised by the response (as per blogger's stats) to my blog, seeing that I'm fairly new and haven't published a new entry in a while, it surprises me that some kind souls have wandered or purposefully come here. I say kind souls because I do not think it is my writing that brings you here, but rather, fate because of all the millions of blogs that you come across, you're here, now. So, thank you! Even if you decide that this blog is not for you, but you've come across it even once in your life, I still say thank you for giving me  some of your time.

(from my friends, to you, thank you!)

Speaking of blogs entries, I've realized that my most popular post, by far, is the one about kid's perspectives and it fascinated me. I don't know if its popular because parents want to hear about what's happening to their kids, or maybe parents want to hear stories of other parents/ persons who deal with kids. It could also be a whole other reason, but whatever it is, I've decided to follow-up that blog. I will be posting it sometime soon. Yes, I realize that it seems silly of me to post a post about posting it (wow, what a mouthful!) but I wanted to show you that I am still writing for you. I am a little behind my entry posts but I wish this short update will make it up somehow. I want to help bring your journey with your kids further, and that is why I am writing from a kid's perspective, again. Also, I thank you for reading and talking with me.

I hope that I will not disappoint you, because you matter to me. If you want to talk, please, leave a comment, or you can Contact Me here and I will get back to you, I promise!

End of The World And Failures

"It's 2013, and it's the end of the world!"

So what do we do next, now that we've survived the supposed apocalypse? We've survived the "apocalypse", we've survived the Y2K bug, and I'm pretty sure we'll survive the next anticipated apocalyptic date but, I have to ask you a question: Will you survive your next failure? I ask you this because failure is one of the most inevitable thing in our lives, more likely to happen than an apocalypse. You cannot really outrun it, cannot really hide from it and you definitely cannot NOT experience it. Maybe there was a time you tried to wiggle your way around it, and a time when you tried to sit back and not face it, but there's nothing you can or cannot do that will help you avoid it. It's just part of life! 

However, there is one thing that you should know about your failures---it means you tried! 

You put your foot forward, you reached for something, and you voiced your thoughts. Now, doesn't that sound like an accomplishment? You could have just done nothing, but you didn't, did you? Yes, you failed (and you will continue to do so) but you tried! You accomplished something when you failed, you accomplished experience! Not only that, you gained courage because not many people would risk themselves for something they're "not sure about". The brilliance of it all is that in your failure, you've succeeded. It is truly just a matter of perspective! 

If it isn't obvious to you yet, your opinion about your failure directly equates to your attitude in life. You need a healthy life, a full life! In order to do that, you have to keep a positive outlook. However, you don't need to be "positive Patty" nor should you be "negative Nancy". You should just be the best of what you are and what you have, and try to see the best possible you. Lastly, please don't misunderstand what I'm saying here. Just because I say that failure is an accomplishment doesn't mean that you should just be content with your failure. What I'm really trying to say is that you should take your  failure, learn from your experience, and try again! After all, "trying" is what sets apart the survivors, the winners and the leaders from the "zombies".

So I ask you again, will you survive your next failure?
