TO FAIL TO TRY IS THE ONLY FAILURE
“To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.” — Rosa Parks
Beethoven’s music teacher said, “As a composer, he is hopeless.” Later in life, he was also strongly criticized for his music. Yet he became one of the biggest influencers in shifting the classical era towards the romantic era. Although Beethoven is today known for his beautiful music, it did not come easily for him. Writing a symphony is something that most of us can’t even imagine, but to make it even worse, Beethoven began to lose his hearing in his late 20’s. As years passed, it got worse. Legend says that one day, Beethoven was spending time with his fellow composer Ferdinand Ries, and they saw a shepherd playing a pipe. They both saw it, but only Ries could hear it. Beethoven confronted his deafness for the first time. He was slowly going deaf, but he would not give up. He knew that music was the only thing he could do in life, and there was no way he would let that go. He continued to write music. In the early stages of his deafness, he began to use lower notes, as he could not hear the higher ones very well. Once he went completely deaf, he could rely only on the sounds that were inside of his mind. Beethoven wrote many great pieces during his lifetime, but one of the most famous is his Ninth Symphony, which he wrote when he was completely deaf.
Dear Angels, never giving up indicates trust. Many times, I know in my heart that something is right even though my physical eyes see a different story. When the gut says to keep trying, it is a good idea to keep trying.
Dear Ones, your spirit always knows best. Your logical mind will try to interfere and confuse you. The stronger you are, the stronger you will stand against the doubt. Connect with the little general inside of you who is fearless and doesn’t take no for an answer. If it is truly meant to be, it will be. Do not go into confusion. Know who you are listening to. Is it someone you can trust? Who is guiding you and helping you see your inner strength to handle situations? Bravely go forward. Only you know if the message is being heard correctly.
Dear Angels, thank you. I love you. Namaste, y’all.
Today, I promise to listen more with my heart.
