The benefit of failure

JK Rowlings about epic failure…

“Failure meant the stripping away of the inessential. Rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life”.

About Michaela

I am a wanderer and a wonderer, like you are. I love our journey and to walk in the company of friends – to learn, experience, share, laugh, cry and above all I simply love this marvelous, magical, mysterious life. I have no plan (cannot believe I am saying this) and my only intention is to be truthful to myself and others.

But…what is really happiness?! Even though I search it in whatever I do…even though now and then it still makes a fugace appearance… it remains a chimera! I’ve been searching for it also in philosophy and spirituality with the only result that..they do help to keep myself afloat, but…is this the real life they promise?…I’m still feling like I’m escaping!

  What is real happiness ?
  Its what is there if you stop searching.
  Just stop.
  
  For one tiny little moment
  
  Because that what is searching is not what is happy…
