I Finally Said "NO!" to Failure!

Success comes at the hand of many failures. The important thing is to continue on the path you have chosen and follow after Peace.

I just had a real life experience while trying to find a way to supplement my income when I retire in September. I saw a business and was very close to buying in, but I had doubts it was the right decision. The salesman let me have my space, but I still had an overarching fear of disappointing him after all the time he spent with me trying to put the deal together.

A couple of weeks into the business venture, I found a Wealthy Affiliate Link and clicked on. I joined (it was free after all). I felt nothing but excitement and purpose and creativity rising up within me again! Certainly this was too good to be true?!?

Long story short, I finally said no to the salesman (nice guy and a reputable business). It was not easy. I went back and forth, back and forth, day after day! I was on the verge of pleasing' the salesman at my own expense. I had failed here before...many times.

I had no peace. My previous failures came to mind. I lost a lot of $$$ feeling the feeling I was feeling with this deal. BUT! I had no peace! I said NO! I was healed! I was able to look at the situation, remember my past failures, and make the best decision for ME!

I was 'fortunate' to have the WA experience to compare it to. On the one side was skepticism and fear, and on the other was excitement, direction, creativity and open-ended possibilities! I am so happy to be here. It was the right decision, and I made it because I learned from past failures.
