ORIGINAL: Underumam Conversely, when I fail to please and be everything she needs/wants me to be, I feel I fail in a spiritual sense. This can be/is very devastating. Yes, i can understand that, though i have learned another way to view that. When i fail it is an avenue being presented to me to grow. Sometimes it can be an area where i need to challenge myself to reach further for a Dom, or if it didn't work out, then it is a lesson for me to explore and ask myself some very tough questions. In doing this, the challenge is taking the blame off Dom or me, and seeing what was meant to be learned period. That though is one of the strongest keys in my spiritual path; seeing the lesson without blaming another, and learning from it. blessings wisdomtogive Thank you Wisdomtogive. Yes, taking the lessons and learning without attaching blame or guilt is one of the hardest things in overcoming ones own weaknesses. Blame clouds the judgment, and inspires unhealthy reactions in all concerned. Yet, we all fall into it's trap from time to time..(at least I do) lol. It's good see someone who has clearly grasped this fact... Yes, and i look at it one further than blame and judgment - i simply have disassociated any value with "failure." It is simply a fact, whether i failed or succeeded, and neither state has any value over the other. When you take the emotional value and connectivity away, it simply becomes an action, and a much more simple action at that. And once you've defined it simply as action, it becomes entirely the responsibility of my Master/Owner to determine if i am pleasing or not - precisely where the value should be. It's entirely possible for me to "fail" and still succeed in pleasing him. My value system will never be the same as his own. So removing my values from my actions enables me to find that place of simply serving, existing, and being - which is again tied to the Universe, and my spirit, and is a peaceful, wonderful place to be. Love this thread, thanks for starting it wisdomtogive. julie
