Failed Events as Moments

Life is simply a series of random moments connected together through an understanding of what has happened in the past and what we believe might happen in the future. In short form, understanding = memory + foresight. In this view, failed events are a few of the many moments that have occurred and might occur. If we view failure as a moment, its magnitude may seem much less significant, enabling us to overcome the failed event more efficiently. These moments also provide us a continuous supply of opportunities. The catch is to realize them as they happen or soon thereafter, to stay on top of them and to navigate within (not around) them to enhance our quality of life. Quality of life does not mean success, money, avoiding mistakes, learning from mistakes, but the capacity to intensely and intentionally focus on the events each moment as they are presented and make the most of them by assessing their worth as you perceive them and anticipate their outcomes.
