On Failure

I post a lot about Shanti Sena, taking care of each other, and how to create a positive and safe gathering for everyone.

As most people know, I walk my talk, but does that mean there are always happy endings?

NOPE!

Sometimes I fail at resolving conflicts, dealing with issues, or helping people.  Sometimes it's on me. I'm just not the right person with the proper skills that are needed for a given situation. Sometimes, the people involved rub me the wrong way and I can't give me best. Sometimes, I've tried and tried, but no matter what I do, everyone is mad at my efforts.

Sometimes I make mistakes and mess things up. 

That's OK.  I am a human being with my own challenges and issues. And I'm part of a wonderful family with lots of different bellies who maybe can succeed where I have failed. Or together we can succeed where none of us individually could. In the end it doesn't really matter who addresses the issue, just that we as a family get it done in a peaceful loving manner.

One of the golden rules about dealing with Shanti Sena issues is to take a step back if you are unprepared, not in a proper frame of mind, or feel yourself unable of being calm, kind, and loving.
