If You Haven't Failed, You Haven't Lived.

There are moments in life that make us stop in our conscious thought type of tracks....and really think.

We all have gotten caught up in our daily lives of laundry, work, kids, car repair, school PTA and late night television - and we have all experienced life's moments of clarity where we realize - hey....this applies to me too.

Connections are made in these moments, but never think that they haven't been in the works for quite some time already. We just became aware of them with that thought......

We are a sea of people in an ocean of world and universe. We ebb and flow through the time frame of  our lifetime, meeting and leaving other lives and experiencing things that shape who we end up........and what we end up leaving behind us. We all do things - we try things - we live through things......and we fail. LOTS.

I used to have this 'notion' about failure. It shouldn't happen! I couldn't fail because what would that mean??? It would mean I'm a failure, that's what it would mean! I actually created thoughts like this in my head, and I bought every word.

Failure is necessary. Believe that! Name one human being that ever avoided failure. You can't! There isn't one. The greatest teachers started out as the biggest failures.....why? They kept moving forward - kept trying.....the failure teaches us how to succeed the next time....or the next time.....or if you're like me....the time after that.

People always joke about how life has 'no manual' and if there is one, we haven't found it yet. For some reason, I believe we are each here to write our own manuals. We have individual experiences, live in a collective world where information sharing is critical to our survival (literally....in every sense of the word) and we will always experience failure. I didn't say continually, thank goodness - but it is how we learn about the world, ourselves and each other.

There are those who will fail, fall down, whimper about it and stay there. Life happens and people choose. Others will learn from mistakes, shrug it off as a lesson learned and move forward.

So when I find something that makes me stop and think like this, or experience this clarity, I feel the need to share.

I'm going to only suggest you sit back and watch this video. It will surprise you.
Sometimes, there can be too many words.......

 

Rock your day!

DMT: The Spirit Molecule

I am a documentary nut. I love them! If you have the name of a great documentary, I'd love to hear about it! The internet is oozing with wonderful documentaries that you can watch right online!

So when we came across this synopsis......

An investigation into the long-obscured mystery of dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a molecule found in nearly every living organism and considered the most potent psychedelic on Earth......

....we HAD to see it.

After we watched it, we were a little stunned. We didn't know what to think - but it made us really use our cerebral areas and ponder the existence of something so life altering.

The idea of it being present throughout nature is what interested us. The fact that they have dubbed it 'the spirit molecule' - all of these things change the spin of a lot of things!

I was interested to know what others thought - so I am providing it here.

 

I recommend this documentary!

Comments and reviews encouraged. :)

Takin' the Long Way Around

Friday - the beginning, if you're lucky, of a two day 'unwind.' Are you ready?? I wasn't sure how to catapult myself into the weekend, but music is always a great way to find inspiration - and that's exactly what I did this morning.

I found a playlist of my favorite stuff. It's nothing that anyone else has influenced (unless you were the artist). Some of it would be considered' giggle-worthy' but the list belongs to no one but me. It's personal. Each song means something to me. A moment in time that captured my attention through energy, feeling, vibration (as music tends to be) and timing. It really is fascinating to explore why the choices we have in music exist to begin with.

What 'strikes the chord' in us so to speak? Again, it's personal.

I was going through my list of great songs - and one country tune flung itself to the forefront of my mind. One song - that encapsulates my life to this point. That's a tough one - I've been through some stuff and although many songs touch on portions of the journey, no one defined it like this one.

"The Long Way Around."

If you don't know the controversy behind the Dixie Chicks and the subsequent album they wrote, no worries. It's over. Let the music speak for itself. This song struck me at a time in my life when I was literally at the major crossroads in my world. Decisions had to be made - and I despised making them. What if I was wrong? I was always wrong! What if.....What if......

When I realized it was far worse to stand there 'what if'ing than it was to get up and move forward, things got easier. I look back at this song and draw power from it. My power. My discovery. My new changes thanks to decisions I made to keep going.

Find the music that makes you want to be better. Explore the magic music creates in your life. I may always take the long way around, but at least I get there eventually.

Have a great weekend!
