I wrote this poem I hope it's okay to share it. I had an NDE almost 2 years ago. Fear leads to failure. Failure dictates the truth. When we fail, we learn the truth about ourselves. I have failed many times. I learned from these failures. I had to adapt. Adaption led to change. Change generated logic. Logic led to clarity. Clarity evolved into understanding. Understanding set my life’s journey on a better path. I could not see any of this without the failure.
