Miracles in my Inbox

I check my email fairly frequently throughout the day, and am usually pretty good about keeping it cleaned out.  But each morning, having been away for several hours I generally have tons to go through.  The first thing I do is look for miracles.  This is so much fun!  I know they are there every single day!

It might be a comment from a friend on a Facebook post, or a comment from someone on my list about an email I sent them.  It could be that I have made a couple of sales and have Money!  (Always miraculous!)  Or it could be that someone has "found" me from out of the blue and just wants more info or to talk.

Sometimes the "miracle" is that I do not have tons of junk.  (My email addy is fairly public, so I do get a lot of it)

It might be that someone made a comment on a blog I also commented on, and it has an impact on me.

It might be an email from someone whose list I belong to really resonates with me today.

Maybe a faraway relative has news.  (My Mom makes sure I get all  of these... lol)

Maybe it is something hysterical someone had to share.  A laugh, indeed, is a miracle.

There is ALWAYS a miracle or two in my morning inbox.  I LOVE to check my email.

Will the next one have something to do with you?

I wish you many miracles and hope to hear about them soon!

Time to Fail

As Joel Comm puts it, you need to allow yourself time to fail. For every successful venture, there are likely many failures which precede it. He stresses that while we do need to recognize a failure when it happens, we do not need to give in to fear of failure. Expect that sometimes your great idea will lead nowhere, and move on to the next one! Setting aside time to brainstorm and experiment is vital to your growth. Constantly try new things with the understanding that not everything will be a success. He says "If we try ten ideas and one works, that's good enough. We'll have had fun with the other nine and we'll still have made money. "

I appreciate Joel's enthusiasm for everything he does. He really likes to branch out and try all kinds of new ideas. We can learn a great deal from Joel and others like him who are not afraid to branch out, take chances and even fall on your face sometimes.
