Rising above the agony of defeat

Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat.


-Malcolm S. Forbes

This is so true. Abraham Lincoln may be the best example I know where perseverance is concerned. If you've never put it on the line and lost, you can't really appreciate the value of success when you achieve it. This ties in closely with the concept of we learn best what we learn hardest.

I've been struggling lately with posting to my blog not wanting to "talk for the sake of hearing my own voice" so to speak. In keeping with that vein, here is a link to a recent podcast interview with New Consciousness Review about my book, Finding Your Own Truth. While I have done a local radio interview courtesy of my friend and neighbor, Steve Evans, this was a first for me. Being interviewed by a complete stranger that reviews books for a living is a little more intense but thoroughly enjoyable. http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-soldiers-spiritual-journey/id387253557?i=86714558
