What we know now

We know that listening to more financial news does not make us feel better.  But a good walk, run, or ride does.
We know that some days it is nothing short of a miracle that we fit our workout in.
We know that a good sports bra is the key to a good workout.
We know that the best apparel can go through the washer and dryer.
We know that our happiest times are not spent behind a desk.
We know that the shortest distance between two points is not always the best way to travel.

What do you know now? Share the wisdom below.

Failing Enthusiastically

“Success is moving from failure to failure enthusiastically.”
Winston Churchill

Some may feel sorry for, or even derisive of, the Sarah Palins, Martha Stewarts and Carly Fiorinas of the world. My own response is often tinged with a bit of envy, “Wow, I bet she’s learning a lot.”

Success may be the kindest teacher, but failure is a very efficient one.
Never do I learn more than when I am in the midst of a colossal failure.
It’s this kind of learning which delivers a confidence, a confidence forged best in the furnace of failure.

So here’s to having not only the confidence to risk failure but the enthusiasm to embrace it. Let’s start now:  sharing and celebrating our failures and the learning that came with them.

Can’t get enough? Read about Title Nine’s Annual “Big Mistake” Contest. There is a method to the Madness.
