Constant failure at loving is ironically and paradoxically what keeps us learning how to love. When we think we’re there, there’s nothing to learn. ~ Richard Rohr (HERE)
We Learn By Doing It Wrong is the title of this CAC posting – it is well worth a read. In the post, Richard Rohr shares powerful commentary about “falling upward,” a concept he has expanded in a book by the same name. When we “put ourselves out there,” worrying less about making mistakes (and our ego) while focusing on following Christ’s examples, it’s then that substantial progress can occur.
Love one another.
Turn the other cheek.
{and so many more…}
May this day find you learning by “doing it wrong,” with joy in your heart…
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
