SUCCESS versus FAILURE.. which is a better TEACHER?
Consider the basketball contest that is close all game, hard fought and is decided in the final seconds by a single point. What happens? The winner moves on to the next game. The winner feels pretty good as in the end, it’s another victory. Most concerning, when you win, many issues ,mistakes, problems and ‘sins’ get covered up with the win. With the exception of the most driven of coaches like Lombardi, Landry and Wooden, the mistakes are, for lack of a better word, overlooked. Now what about the team that played just as good or better, and for whatever fateful reason, came up a point short. They have a ‘L’ in the Win/ Loss column. While the winners are out celebrating, the losers are combing through the entire game wondering… ‘what if we did this’ or ‘we should have done that?’ Where do we need improvement so we aren’t even in a position to lose that game the next time?

August 20, 2010 - In my experience questing for understanding of spiritual aspects of the human community, I have had occasion to encounter some unusual synchronicities. One such event emerged while perusing a lecture by noted Initiate and spiritual scientist, Rudolf Steiner.

March 2, 2010 - Commonly known as Dr Seuss, Geisel may be THEE best children’s book authority that ever has lived. Known for his witty and life lesson rhymes, Seuss has authored countless treasures such as ‘Green Eggs and Ham’, ‘Horton hears a Who’, ‘The Cat in the Hat’ and arguably the most famous of all, ‘The Grinch who stole Christmas.’ Most remarkable is the fact that adults can learn quite a bit as well from his works.
