Rising From The Ashes

There comes a time in every person’s life when they tried to make a change, and for some reason or another, that change is not successful. This can be profoundly discouraging, and even send us on a downward spiral. We are not prepared for the setbacks in childhood. We are generally given the impression that in order to have value, we have to do things right, and often times, we think we have to do things right the first time.

What we don’t always take into consideration is the fact that a very common, and unfortunate, part of being human is failing. Whether we think we have everything figured out or not, the unforeseen obstacles that seem to insert themselves in our paths can sometimes take us by surprise.
