Confidence Matters
Good Morning,
This is the first week of our new system of four different mailing lists, each with
a different theme. Therefore, today’s newsletter is about motivation, self-
#1 (starting next week) Motivation@TomorrowsEdge.com covers self-
#2 (starting the following week) Family@TomorrowsEdge.net covers parenting, toddlers, teenagers, family dynamics, and how we get along with our relatives. If you do not want to receive this one, then send a blank email to RemoveFamily@TomorrowsEdge.net and we’ll skip you during those weeks.
#3 (and the week after) Spirituality@TomorrowsEdge.net covers New Age topics, freedom of religion, angels, fairies, spirit guides, and the ideas of connecting with each other on a universal spiritual level regardless of religious beliefs. If you do not want to receive this one, then send a blank email to RemoveSpirituality@TomorrowsEdge.net and we’ll skip over you during those weeks.
#4 (and then we wrap it all up with “love”) Love@TomorrowsEdge.net covers dating, romance, soulmates, love, and how we feel about such things. If you do not want to receive this one, then send a blank email to RemoveLove@TomorrowsEdge.net and we’ll skip over you during those weeks.
(Don’t forget to put these email addresses in your address books, bulk mail folders, spam filters, approved address lists, and such so that your Internet Service Provider does not block them from your inbox.)
Once we’ve had a chance to run through all four lists, I’ll quit adding this little description to the newsletters. Opt into whatever you like and opt out of whatever you don’t really need.
take care,

Feature Article of the Week:
What If I Fall Flat On My Face?
I hope you do. Sounds awful, I know. But I really think the best thing that can happen to you is for you to take a timid little leap and fall flat on your face. Then, I want to see you get back up, evaluate what you did wrong, and jump again. Keep on taking that leap of faith and learning from each and every mistake until you become used to jumping and used to falling. Then, you’ll get over the fear of falling and you’ll finally begin to concentrate on flying. I want to see you run with everything you have and dive into your dreams with so much passion and fire that you forget all about the possibility of failing. You will never find your wings until you do.
The fear of failure is a cruel and stupid trick we pull on ourselves. The fact that the fear of failure stops us from going after our goals and dreams means that we’ve already failed. I ask you this, who cares if you fail? Brilliant people fail every single day. Brave tenacious people fall flat on their faces and even get laughed at every single day. Here’s an example of a perfectly nice person who was known to fail, Christopher Reeves. How many mornings did he wake up telling himself that he was going to walk and then went to bed having failed yet again? Great guy, people loved him. He never let a little thing like yesterday’s failure stop him from working hard again today. He was an inspiration to everyone who knew him. Who ever planted that stupid idea in our heads that we had to be successful at every single thing every single day in order to be likeable?
What is failure anyway? In my eyes, Christopher Reeves was definitely not a failure. Nobody with that much tenacity, focus, and drive fails. He was a real hero. You haven’t failed until you’ve given up trying. As long as you’re still taking leaps of faith, you’re still a winner. Failure, like everything else, has its breaking point. At some point, if you hit at it in the same spot over and over again it eventually breaks. How many light bulbs did Thomas Edison make before he got it right? Most people don’t know the answer to that because they don’t care how many times he failed before he finally succeeded. He kept learning from each attempt, adapting to the knew information, stayed the course, held the dream, and didn’t let the fear of failure nor the fear of other people’s ridicule stop him.
One of the reasons that I think we hear so many stories of immigrants coming to this country and making it big is because they were raised on stories of the ability to create whatever kind of life you envision for yourself here. It’s like all the stories they grew up hearing about how everyone has the right to succeed in America overrides any underlying belief that they themselves could fail. They don’t have a fear of failure so they just roll up their sleeves and get to work making their dreams come true. Sure they stumble and fall and learn a few lessons along the way, but they certainly don’t give up and quit.
Afraid of what other people are going to think of you if you fail? Have you ever
met someone who played it ultra safe that was very impressive? People who don’t
take risks are seldom if ever cheered, admired, or in the limelight. Besides, Americans
love an underdog. We love to see some scrappy go-
One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given on this subject was back in high
school when I was first learning how to water-
Are you really going to shelve something so dear to your heart because you might fail? If I could promise you that you’d only fail twice and on the third attempt you would succeed, then would you go ahead and suffer through the first two failures in order to get to that third time? Of course, you would. All that’s left to debate is how many times. So go ahead… take that first leap of faith.
