The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was beautiful but lost in the clouds, details of the edges of the clouds illuminated color s and shadows.
If at first you don’t succeed try again. It is a lesson you should heed, try again. When you’re feeling sad and down don’t give up and please don’t frown, try again.
I know, I know, a rendition of a silly little poem that no one listens to, but I thought it was fitting. Today I saw that a Writers Workshop was canceled. This workshop had significant value both from an intrinsic level and a monetary level. For some reason people didn’t see it that way or just procrastinated till there was no sure way of ensuring success. The creators of this fantastic conference may feel defeated right now but where others did nothing, they tried. It is in that try that they succeeded more than most of her ever will.
As I sit here wondering why something with value would be overlooked I question the perception many. I try so hard create little slices where people realize that perspectives are not always what they seem and sometimes I even succeed. I am sure there will be people out there who feel that the cost was too much, too little, that there was not enough, then there was too much, that there were too many people, that there were two people, and it doesn’t more reasons sit out on the edge of The fringe of forever. I am sure all that will be there but my reality is that several people tried to make something that didn’t exist before and laid the foundations for future success.
I know it sounds difficult, but I believe wholeheartedly that without failure there can be no true success. I can say even more wholeheartedly that people not have failures can never feel the joys of success. I also firmly believe that we all need to learn in order to grow and that failure is a common part of that. Guess what, failure is only failing when you give up
So to all the fantastic people that wanted to give more of themselves and create something better for writers, I applaud you. For all of the people who supported these pioneers, I applaud you. For everyone else, there will come a time and we will see these people succeed in the near future. To me, they are already a success.
So as the sun sets on another day, let’s make the world a better place by doing more just watching. Let’s make the world a better place by doing more than saying we need to be alone. Let’s make the effort to change the world as we can and show people a better way if we know one. It may not be the only way but at least it gives people choices towards. With that in mind I hope everyone has many failures find an event success out of those barriers, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, what a ride..
