''No Such Thing''
"How can my thoughts betray me
if my thoughts and I are one?
My thoughts and words are simply tools
by which my will is done"--Walt
Failure as an outcome
in my world does not exist
But let's explore this fully
so my point here isn't missed
The life that you've been living's
been the outcome of your will
No matter how you end this year
that fact stays that way still
When fate is seen as punishment
imposed on from without
Then fear of failure looms
and every outcome seems in doubt
But goals and resolutions
brought to failure or success
Reflect our daily choices
nothing more and nothing less
There's no such thing as failure
there's no way to lose a game
Where both player and opponent
made and maker are the same!
COMMENTARY:
Appropriate for the new year, which many people use as a time to reinvent themselves, make resolutions and set new goals. I offer you an alternate view on success and failure that you can apply to daily concerns as well as more spiritually far-reaching contemplations!
NOTE: Today's life rhyme was inspired by my understanding of the SECOND of the Ten Illusions of Humans: that "Failure" exits. These ten beliefs form the basis of the flawed perception of reality that causes all of mankind's woes. The ten illusions are that
1. Need Exists (covered in Life Rhyme #278 on 12/20/02)
2. Failure Exists (*today's Life Rhyme)
3. Disunity Exists
4. Insufficiency Exists
5. Requirements Exist
6. Judgement Exists
7. Condemnation Exists
8. Conditionality Exists
9. Superiority Exists
10.Ignorance Exists
