Why Am I Failing? How Do I Succeed? aka There’s a ‘Slight Edge’ Difference Between Failure & Success

How did I get to this point? And how do I get out?

Life is a series of highs and lows, peaks and troughs, crossroads and forks in the road.

I’d reached a low. Not just me, but the whole family.

We were in debt, living someplace we hated and had no ‘provable’ (or reliable) source of income since we were starting our own business.

No provable income meant we had no way to move and improve our living situation.

I felt stuck. I was angry. It was depressing.

I was blaming others — God, business partners, my spouse. I was complaining about our bad luck, bad choices, bad karma…

But after years of ‘training’ in personal development, my heart knew that continuing to blame and complain wouldn’t help me get out of our situation.

So I started asking questions.

• How did we get here?
• What led us to these circumstances?
• How can we get out?

As always, the answers came to me as I studied, researched, prayed, and pondered.
