In aphorism, proverb on 20140319 at 21:43How we handle a present failing is more crucial to determining a future success than is the incidence of the failure itself.
Every incidence of failure is given an opportunity for redemption, and that depends on whether we let it stop us or whether we bow to it or allow it to inspire a change within us.
A present failing is often but a perceived failing.
A failing offers but an opportunity to try again with informed experience behind us.
To loosen one’s grip is not necessarily to lose one’s grip.

In aphorism, idiom, proverb, rumination on 20091107 at 14:30[on BELIEF and ACTION]
It is possible to know one’s beliefs by looking at their actions, but it is impossible to know one’s actions simply by looking at one’s beliefs.
For belief is different than action, and rare is the person who acts according to his or her professed belief.
Humans are mortal, by definition, and know for certain very little about things immortal.
Hypothesis and superstitions, often termed belief, aim to simplify what is supernatural, i.e., what is not of this earth.
One’s beliefs cannot change reality, they cannot explain the past or define the future. At most, a belief may shape the present, and only our actions can agree with our beliefs.
If our actions do not match our beliefs, then it is only the present that we disgrace in the name of the future.
A belief which does not match our actions is but another’s, whose existence is never real enough to call our own. In this light, it is only possible to say that actions exist and beliefs are as only as real as said actions.
The action which differs from belief must relinquish any ties to that belief, for they are separate, they are an ‘other’ unto each other.
A fool professes a belief and guides not his actions to follow. The wise guide their own actions accordingly, and in doing so, set forth a belief which no soul can dispute, as it is backed with action.
