From my Tricycle Daily Dharma email this morning:
'It can be hard to tell what’s a failure and what’s just something that is shifting your life in a different direction. In other words, failure can be the portal to creativity, to learning something new, to having a fresh perspective.'
—Pema Chödrön, “How to Fail”

Looking back I know this to be true but so very hard when in the thick of it. Love Pema.
I agree on both counts!🙂
Wow, never thought of any failure like that, but it's true. Very thought provoking.
She's a very wise woman :-) I have sometimes wondered if we humans learn more from our 'failures' than we do when things run smoothly.
Many thanks for sharing these words.
All the best Jan
Wise words indeed.
I need reminding :-)
