Sow Seeds of Success

The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.
Paramahansa Yogananda

The spiritual practice of nonattachment shows us that failure can be a blessing in disguise. It is satisfying when our useful efforts turn out as we would like them to, but it is perhaps even better to accept lessons from the universe when things do not turn out as planned. As a young man I struggled to earn a living in academia and then in banking, but eventually found joy doing what I love in the entirely different field of high tech. If you are struggling, perhaps it is time to let go and walk forward on a different path.
