I don’t think I have ever really appreciated failure. Most of us, me included, know that we learn primarily through our failures. Our successes are wonderful and they reinforce the behavior that got us to that point, but we don’t grow from it. We don’t grow because we see that illusion that we have conquered the task, even though if we really took a hard look, within that success are failures. We fear failure and because we fear it, we do everything to avoid it. When it does happen, we decide to fold up on ourselves psychologically and we lose the greatest advantage that failure produces. Growth.

I spend an awful lot of time wondering if I get anything right. I am not even really sure what I mean by getting something right. What defines right? Is there really any such thing as right? When I am making any choice, how do I determine what is right? This is obviously an individual answer. I sit here, in my home office, making a choice right now. I am choosing to think about this idea rather than doing work for my company. Is that right? Is the greater or individual good served best by this choice I have made?
I love my son. I love him very much. The hardest thing I have had to do was to tell him that I am transgender. It broke my heart to do it. I have felt the resistance to such a revelation coming from him as I have hinted along the way, with such tidbits as, “How would you like to have two mothers?” I have always received back the answer that he would not want that. That he likes having a daddy and it is better to have a dad and a mom. So, I have dreaded that day that would inevitably come where we would sit down and I would tell my child that his father is actually a woman.

Lasciel AnnwynnI am one of those. Yes, that kind. I poke around in the corners and lesser explored paths of life looking for it's mysteries. There is so much magic in the world when you open your perception to it. Look with eyes of wonder. Archives
