What Failure Can Teach You About Success

I came across this great speech by JK Rowling about her own journey – very inspiring.  It is in three parts.

JK Rowling – Part 1 – 10 minutes

JK Rowling – Part 2 – 5:16 minutes

JK Rowling Part 3 – 5:24 minutes

What You Want Is Not Necessarily What You Think You Want

I just read an amazing blog post by Andy Dooley – a truly funny, goofy, artistic but deeply spiritually insightful guy.

If you don’t get around to popping over to his site for a chuckle, art appreciation and an “aha” moment, then here’s the essence of what impressed me:

In life you ALWAYS get what you WANT if you remember you’re ALWAYS after the FEELING! Whatever you want right now is because of the feelings you want!

So when you’re visualising your goal, go for the feeling.  I mean, REALLY go for the feeling.  I mean, really, Really,  REALLY go for the feeling.

Did I mention you should go for the feeling? (Kidding…)

And the image – the blueberry peace pie – If you read Andy’s other posts, it’s kind of an in-joke with him.

Peace!
