Perception vs Reality

Last night we watched the 2003 A Wrinkle in Time. While I can't really say that it's as good as the book, which seems to be the case 99% of the time, there were a few good parts to the movie. One of them was when Meg is with Aunt Beast and Meg comes to the realization that what is and what seems to be are different. So often in life we get distracted from what is by what seems to be. This is true in all areas of life. For example, when I start to worry about money and where it will come from I've been distracted by the perceived lack in the world. When I am able to clear the fog of perception with the realization of reality then all worry and concern is dispelled. The reality of life is that there is abundance available to us all. The fact is that there is more than enough for everyone. That's it...Inspiration wasn't really here at this moment, I was forcing myself to write. I have something I want to write about but it is resting in the corner of my mind for the moment. When it awakens I'll revise this post.

Stephen Covey uses a great analogy in his book 7 habits, about maps.
And here is a little something from the archives:

As you read this book to its end you will once and for all
understand the true nature of failure and its NECESSARY purpose in the
pathway to success. How can 'failure' inspire me to win?

truth#1) Every challenge is a stepping stone that can lead us to greater
opprotunity.

truth#2)devistating failure is self imposed.

SC, What book is that exerpt from? Is it one you're working on or one that you have written already or from someone else?
Sounds like a great read.
