Just because you come up with a unique way of "re-wording" what happened doesn't mean God gave you a million dollars....it means investors gave you a million dollars and you lost it for them....do you think the investors feel like you reached your goal? What about the people who depended on you? Is this a success for them? If you take out of the word "success" all the factors that make it a positive, then sure you can explain anything you do as a success. next time you decide to do that, though, in advance, why don't you explain that to your investors? You might find out that you have NOT reached "your" goal of learning how to raise capital after all, if you put the burden on yourself to inform your potential investors of your "new" definition of what you think constitutes "success". Seriously, folks, lets stop pretending and redefining what constitutes success just to make ourselves feel better after we fail and really investigate what CAUSES success. It's really that simple.

I have noticed that most of the time when I get angry at my boyfriend it is because I "expect" him to let's say compliment my outfit and when he doesn't I get upset. However, I overlook the fact that he opened the car door for me b/c I was so focused on my missed expectations. Ouch this hit home for me! Wow!

I often wonder how you come to these conclusions at such an early age. This will have to be a huge shift for almost 100% of our Hemisphere. Western thinking is very much about expectancy. It is very much about what I want and me, me, me. We have heard from every type of leader and motivational speaker, whether a Preacher or Tony Robbins regarding expectation and its benefits. Our entire orientation has been about expectation. Lord help us to see right! I think that's the right prayer. ;-) Now this is a mature perspective.
