Faith, Failure, and Finding Your Path: Rewriting Our Understanding of Life's Setbacks
Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragement
What if we've been looking at failure all wrong? Remember watching a baby learn to walk – we never call their stumbles and falls "failures." Yet somewhere along our journey, we develop this crippling fear that prevents us from trying, growing, and evolving.
This episode invites you to completely rewrite your understanding of failure. I explore how faith – not necessarily religious, but a deeper understanding that everything is part of life's bigger picture – helps us navigate both triumphs and setbacks with equal grace. Sometimes our greatest "failures" are actually redirection, preparation, or simply proof that we were brave enough to try something ambitious.
Drawing from personal experiences, including relationships that didn't work out but still brought unexpected blessings like property ownership and mindset shifts, I challenge the notion that failure is the opposite of success. Perhaps it's actually an essential component of success – the necessary soil work before growth becomes visible. The confidence to allow things to develop beneath the surface, without explanation or apology, represents a profound form of wisdom many of us only discover later in life.
What are you currently "failing" at? What might life be telling you through this experience? Which doors are closing, and more importantly, which new ones are opening? Share your greatest failure and what it ultimately taught you or made possible. Connect with me, Lita, goddess of growth, and let's transform our relationship with failure together.

Welcome back to the Empowerment Diaries short podcast. I've talked about the season. What about your idea of failure? We're talking about faith, understanding that good and bad times is all part of the picture. Faith doesn't override our life. Faith doesn't bring just good, it's everything all included. Faith, to me, is understanding that everything that is going on is part of the bigger picture. So is it now time to rewrite our ideas and our understanding of failure? When we see a baby learn to walk, we do not say to the child the baby well, you failed for not walking.
Speaker 1:Though I must admit I was a late walker, I've been told many a time that it was my sister, almost a year younger than I, that taught me how to walk, that it was my sister, almost a year younger than I, that taught me how to walk, but that didn't stop me from learning to walk, did it? We need to start having conversations about failure. What does it mean for us? Is it okay to fail? It should be right. Runners don't learn how to run or sprint overnight. There's a few stops and starts, lots of things that we do. We have to learn how to do it through falls. It's time, is it not, to look at failure as a necessary part of life, and often it's our fear of failing that prevents us from doing new things so that we can experience the very growth that we're here to have in this lifetime, to experience in this lifetime. I would love to have a conversation on here about failure. What does that mean to you? How many times have you failed to get to the successful space that you are into at this moment, right now? Can we now see failure as the necessary opportunity for, maybe, redirection, preparation, or just proof that we are brave enough to try, inspired, ambitious enough?
Speaker 1:For many a year in my childhood, I would hear that I have no ambition, and I see myself as someone that doesn't really have ambition. I have dreams. Now I do believe it's possible for many of my dreams to come true, and I will say there are some dreams that now will never come true. So, yes, one would say I have failed at those. But even to have the gall, the balls, the audacity to even dream of it being possible, well, kudos to you and to I, to me, in doing that too. I have had been on quite a journey, quite a journey, and there's many a time I thought, wow, this is my break. This is the time when I'm here to finally succeed, only to fall right back down on my backside to learn that, no, this is not the time of any great elevation. This is just a life as it is. So many lessons and I am in the season as much as I am now here talking and using this podcast to connect and express there are some things that we're learning and I'm learning.
Speaker 1:Very late in life, one needs to take some time to allow to be in the soil and just let it just do what it needs to do in the soil until it's ready to come into the light and on the surface that can look like failure, but I'm also more confident when I'm making decisions and decided to just leave things in the soil. I'm more confident to just get on with it without explaining it. There is no need for the explanation now. Failure is it the opposite of success or is it part of the journey to success? Do you think without failure, we cannot succeed right, unless you're someone that immediately gets it right? Isn't it part of success? Failure?
Speaker 1:Let me hear your greatest failure and I'd love to hear your reflection as to what it opened for you. We'll talk about the not so important my second marriage, which wasn't a marriage, but you know, in getting married it opened so many doors to include purchasing the property that I'm in now mindset change. So what is it that you've been doing that maybe you're failing at now or have done in the past that you now realize? Okay, yes, I'm failing at it, but what is life telling me? What doors are closing? What doors are opening denial? Take it as a blessing, right? You've been listening to Lita, goddess of growth, today. I do thank you. Do come in and communicate and connect. Have a good one.
