It's all about how you look at it

George Bernard Shaw said "A life making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life doing nothing." We can be such a harsh society. Very judgmental., critical, and negative. Our newspapers constantly tell us what's wrong with us, celebrities and the world. Our television does the same. We get into the habit of doing the same to ourselves and our neighbors. It's like a game of hot potato, who gets left holding the failure stigma. And it seems we work very hard to hide out from the critical eyes of society. It takes the focus off our own foibles if we can point the finger at someone else. And it cripples our creativity, self-expression, and motivation. But what if we viewed the world through eyes dedicated to turning mistakes into stepping stones? What if we could see any mistake or failure as a chance for greater good to emerge. Because it's what you do when you get back up that counts.
