103. Let Go
     Although there are a lot of careers in this life that could teach someone to let go, I think that writing has to be near the top of that list. Maybe that’s because I write, or maybe that’s because it really is. Whatever the case, this understanding was made clear recently when a writer friend of mine asked the question, “How could I not see the holes in my manuscript that my critique partners caught and pointed out? They were so glaring.”As a writer, I completely understand the frustration in th…

106. I Have Failed Before
     Have you failed before and wished the earth could open up and swallow you?I have failed before, so many times. And I have learned a valuable lesson in the process.Failure is a word used to define a stage. It is not a condemnation of character, a permanent condition, or a fatal flaw. It is a judgement about an event. It can happen at any stage in your life, to you and to any one you know. I believe failure is a benevolent teacher who, if listened to appropriately, will get you back on track.Some …

     'Luck' is what happends when someone wins the Lotto. Against several million to one odds, the six numbers drawn match the six on the winning man's ticket.

There was once a time when one's values, work ethic and determination went a long way in explaining success. Horatio Algerism meant that a well-dressed, hard-working, likable person could write his or her own ticket--climb the cor…
