Hello,

In this week's edition, I look at how failure is a pathway to your goals. Dr. Richard Lindzen and I dive into the facts of climate change, and I pull from the archives to review "living a meaningful life."

Failure Is the Pathway to Your Goals

There is an idea that Jung developed about the Trickster (Fool) and the Jester. The Trickster is the precursor to the Savior. That is one of the things I learned from Jung. It is so amazing that that might be the case. The Fool is the precursor to the Savior.

Why? Because you are a fool when you start something new. If you are not willing to be a fool, then you'll never start anything new, and if you never start anything new, then you will not develop.

The willingness to be a fool is the precursor to transformation, which is the same as humility.

If you are going to write your destiny, you can do a bad first job. You are going get smarter as you move forward.

Monday Reflections

"You have to be tough as a damn boot to be good because you have to stand your ground when you need to stand your ground. You also have to be able to say 'no' when it is time to say 'no', and you have to mean it." (Share this on Twitter )

"Pick an aim that is worthwhile. Make things better for yourself as if you are worth taking care of — like you are worth something. Surround yourself with people who believe the same and who are rejoicing in your accomplishments and unhappy when you fail." (Share this on Twitter)

"God only knows what is inside you, within your capacity for consciousness and your capacity to confront the world's potential, to turn it into something good. That is us. It is our responsibility, and it really is who we are." (Share this on Twitter)
