It’s Spring Equinox today, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. Not a moment too soon.
I decided to finally get on this quarterly newsletter, fresh with the spring seasonal plantings. If you’re receiving this newsletter, Happy Ostara to you! Happy Nowruz! May your astral new year begin with all the joy. Failure is Compost for Your New Spring Garden. Starting out the astral new year I’m coming out of the gate with a heavy-hitting letter about my list of failures. This last year was one epic chop and drop learning experience. While I know there is no such thing as failure, per se, I can’t help but feel like sometimes the circuitous route to a sliver of success can FEEL like failure after failure. I have to remind myself on the long days that it only feels like failure when I can’t see around the next bend and the sun hasn’t come out yet. But the sun will come out—it always does. The key is not fearing failure as it is part of the process. A key part of the process. Still, every spring during my review window I sit down and have a conversation with my failures. Failure and I go way back. We’re old pals. I hold their hair when they’re hurling in the John, and they hold my hand when I’m weeping in my cereal. We’re buds. We didn’t always have a great relationship--lots of judgy, complaining, bickering stand-offs. But over time, I began to realize failure was one of those unshakable companions that would never walk out on me. No matter how hard I tried to ditch the bitch, they always seemed to show up at the most incredibly defining moments in my life… margarita in hand. Consolation or celebration really just depends.
