Success and Failure

The great thing about coming back to Spirit is that it removes the pressure around those imposters, success and failure. This thought was prompted by Theresa May's resignation. I can see that she genuinely wanted to do the country some good, but it is also mixed in with her desire for a legacy, and her desperation not to leave with a legacy of 'failure' over Brexit.


The only legacy worth bothering with - if you are bothered - is the kind of person people will remember you as. And if you are true to who you are, you will tend to have good relationships with people, and they will continue beyond death.

And if what you are doing doesn't work out as you'd hoped, then it is clear that Spirit had its own plans - with our tiny slice of consciousness, what can we ever truly plan? - so it really doesn't matter, not in the bigger picture. 'Failure' is not a negative judgement on who we deeply are, though there are maybe things we can learn. And if it works out as we hoped, and even goes spectacularly well, well that is not 'ours', Spirit provided the following wind.
