[ Success / Failure ]

Here’s one to ponder: “success is family, failure is an orphan”.

It’s a good metaphor, and it’s true. 

Success is always welcome, we always invite success into the conversation, and success shows up everywhere.  Meanwhile, the failures along the way are put to the side, abandoned, not talked about, and rarely talked to.  Failures are awkward, lonely and, at worst, disowned.

Success gets most of the attention, while failure sits alone forgotten in the background.

Take the time to get to know the failures as well as the successes.  Invite failure into your conversation in order to understand it better.
