This is your most heartfelt comment yet, Farnoosh. You say much more than I believe your rational mind imagines. You’ve revealed the adversities that have empowered you to be who you are today. If people are to grow, they cannot grow in isolation. The greatest opportunity one has in a suppressed culture is to evolve beyond the oppression. Those who evolve make a real contribution to humanity. Thank you for that.

Hey Rob, you know I have lived a very fortunate life and can only remember small trifles but we did leave Iran and do so in such a desperate and quick way that I never recovered from losing my childhood friends and home. This year I found my childhood friends after 25 years and was able to reminisce to my heart’s content and I feel some of the gap is filled again. I think the negative influence of dictator governments with cruelty to their citizens is the one situation which is hard to look past….And yet, the people of Iran find ways to smile at life and even celebrate it even in the face of the atrocities of the regime…..Indeed the human spirit can span across many levels of hardship and still thrive….

YES, Joe … setbacks offer valuable lessons (and there are many I would not care to experience again). Nice tip. Honest! Self-torment consists of refusing to learn from setbacks (coming up with a dozen excuses why we are not responsible). Thank you

I look directly at my self-defeating thoughts and actions, Belinda. With awareness, I have the ability to clean them up. Without awareness of my self-imposed defeats, I cannot break old bad habits. This is why the word ‘defeat’ is part of my vocabulary. I use it to empower me. YES, fearlessness is a prize tht few human beings possess. blessings

NICE, Clearly … I love your ‘house story’. It is a tribute to the human spirit when we really set our minds to cleaning up our lives. Good example. We never need to fight life, we just need to realize that our original nature has already won the battle – simply seek to see the truth about our unlimited potential … Thank you.

Rob,

Looking toward life as a challenge to rise to provides the energy and attitude to grow and develop into a more whole person. I would say its actually important to experience some set-backs in order to learn how to deal with lifes ups and downs. Though I wouldn’t want to experience some of the difficult situations of past again, I feel they have made me stronger and more prepared for life.

I think our defeats really shape our character more so than the successes. I had a big health scare not long ago that really threw me for a loop. It turned out to be the greatest thing because it got me into a higher state of awareness and ultimately got me writing again.

Defeat is not part of my vocabulary, Rob, so I’m skipping that part of your post . Seriously though, I view what we do and how we be as building blocks to getting better and better if we embrace our growth and evolution.

As for fear, I’d be lying if I said I knew the concept of fearlessness. However, I believe it’s perfectly healthy to acknowledge the fear but not let it stop the manifestation of our intention.

What a cool post! I think the greatest thing to come from a past defeat is the home I own now. After a horrid battle with a former landlord who wanted to almost double the rent we were paying I found the courage and desire to become a home owner and now live in an amazing place that was a great purchase.

I prove to myself I am creative every time I open the fridge and make some sort of tasty meal out of what I find there. *lol* I love sprinkling creative moments throughout the day. Even if nobody notices, my life is my art.

Thanks, Rob! That was fun.

I ordered my copy this morning, Rob. Just what I needed today – I’m going to read this a bunch of times. Looking forward to #2.
