Christ Message Of A New Life is More Relevant Now Than Ever

He is literally The Savior for All mankind. With no respecter of nations, races, gender or political parties. After all He was crucified by those who claim to love Him and by political decree.

Easter Sunday is symbolic of Christ's resurrection. Whose indelible meaning is His victory over death (neo-life) can be our victory over despair, hopelessness and fatigue. That which dilutes our hopefulness, that which seems all encompassing to disempower, can be overcome. Just as death was to have no sting upon The literal Creator of Heaven and Earth. In this life even, we can triumph to have literally a life of prosperity over fear and doubt. That is The Good News. Satan would desire you to believe you can't. Doubt is antithetical to Christ's message of hope.

You Can Do This: How to Turn a Failure Into Success

To fail is divine—our life coach has, repeatedly, and she has nothing to show for it except freedom, serenity, and a surefire recipe for success.

I spent at least half my childhood drawing. By the time I got to college and signed up for my first drawing class, I was pretty comfortable with a pencil. My teacher was a brilliant draftsman named Will Reimann. To impress him, I fired up all my best tricks: lots of varied lines, fade-outs, soft gradients. One day while I was drawing, something landed on my sketch pad. It was a mechanical drafting pen.

"Use that from now on," said Mr. Reimann. And he smiled the smile of a man who has hatched an evil plot.

Oh, how I hated that damn pen! It drew a stark black line of unvarying thickness, making all my faboo pencil techniques impossible. You'd think my teacher would've been helpful, or at least forgiving. But no. He'd glance at my awkward ink drawings, groan "Oh, God," and walk away holding his head in his hands, like a migraine sufferer. My art grade plummeted. I writhed with frustration. A few weeks later, as I sat in another class taking notes with the Loathsome Pen of Doom, something happened. Without my intention, my hand started dancing with that horrible pen. Together, they began making odd marks: hatches, overlapping circles, patches of stippling.

The next drawing I completed won a juried art show. "How did you figure out a drafting pen could do this?" one of the judges asked me.

"I failed," I told them. "Over and over again."

Since then I've had many occasions to celebrate failure, in myself and in others. From my life-coaching seat, I've noticed that the primary difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that the successful people fail more. If you see failure as a monster stalking you, or one that has already ruined your life, take another look. That monster can become a benevolent teacher, opening your mind to successes you cannot now imagine.
