My mantra for today:

As I inhale:
"I am not defined by my mistakes"

As I exhale:
"I am not defined by my successes"

Made it up myself, I'll have to see how it goes.

Ha .. that will get you less mistaken
-and more succesful ........

Reminds me of a sign I saw in our doctor's surgery, when I was a kid.
"When I'm right
-no one remembers
When I'm wrong
-no one forgets" (He was obviously wrong --as I have NEVER forgotten that sign, heh !)

All mantras are good and helpful, especially the ones that just bubble up like yours did. Neither defined, nor confined...... funny huh the opposites success and failure, how they crystalize in the mind. Failure can only be accessed through 'mistake', and if success does too, it's only STILL through 'mistake', -the mistakes that lead to success heh.
Just rambling on here, me.

do you mind if I use your mantra in a post ?

...thought I'd better ask
-I will quote, it's yours.

You can use the mantra wherever you deem appropriate; I'm not so vain or selfish. Besides, then I'll get to read your post and that is enjoyable :D
