Yes, the word FAIL > the thought, any recognition whatsoever, out of my life! I kind of feel slightly addicted to it, almost as though 'it' will comfort me, and let me off the hook. In some ways I have learned that giving up and into NotAchieving is easier than StrivingToAchieve, therefore perhaps more attainable and blissful. Repetition says something. However, it's such a viscious word, don't you think? The mere definition of it : 'falling short', 'weakening' , 'neglect' , 'not succeeding' -- when in fact, perhaps what should be in it's place is more Not Yet Arriving. THat word Yet... is everything. It is not absolute. I have a hunch that though we may be the most hopeful bunch of people on the planet, that we all have in common, an undercurrent of the F word lurking within. Lets exorcize (and exercise) it out of Us !
What other words can we think of that are perhpas more positive sounding and much less absolute?
