A speaker from rural Mississippi argues that failure is just life redirecting you. Mourn briefly, extract the lesson, then ask what makes you come alive and pursue it. A world full of alive people is what the world needs.
There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction. When you're down in the hole, when that moment comes, it's really okay to feel bad for a little while. Give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost. But then, here's the key: learn from every mistake. Because every experience, encounter are there to teach you and force you into being more of who you are. There is, I know this, there is a light inside each of you that illuminates your very human beingness if you let it. And as a young girl from rural Mississippi, I learned long ago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be Barbara Walters. I figured out, oh gee, I can be a much better Oprah than I could be a pretend Barbara. Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
