More From Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Failure is so important. we speak about success all the time. it is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. i've met people who don't want to try for fear of failing.
Failure People Important
I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. it's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. this is what the mystics speak about. the insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. so it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. that is what the 'aha' is.

Though fairy tales end after ten pages, our lives do not. we are multi-volume sets. in our lives, even though one episode amounts to a crash and burn, there is always another episode awaiting us and then another. there are always more opportunities to get it right, to fashion our lives in the ways we deserve to have them. don't waste your time hating a failure. failure is a greater teacher than success.

Failure's relative. i've always felt, even early on, if i lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. it's how you treat failure, too. there's something to learn from it. i've had movies that have failed colossally, so you kind of analyze your failures: what kind of failure was it? a failure because it's misunderstood by others? a failure because you misunderstood it yourself?
Misunderstood Kind Failing
Willpower should be understood to be the strength of the mind, which makes it capable of meeting success or failure with equanimity. it is not synonymous with certain success. why should one's attempts always be attended by success? success breeds arrogance and man's spiritual progress is thus arrested. failure, on the other hand, is beneficial, inasmuch as it opens his eyes to his limitations and prepares him to surrender himself. self surrender is synonymous with eternal happiness.
Spiritual Eye Men
If i'd loved my chemistry teacher and my maths teacher, goodness knows what direction my life might have gone in. i remember there was a primary school teacher who really woke me up to the joys of school for about one year when i was ten. he made me interested in things i would otherwise not have been interested in - because he was a brilliant teacher. he was instrumental in making me think learning was quite exciting.
