- At times we all feel like a failure. However, in this video, I’m going to share why failing doesn’t make you a failure.

Who is The Sandscratcher?
My mission is simple: To share stories and life lessons, offer advice & encouragement, plus share my love of music & TV....oh yeah, and anything else I find of interest!
My channel is where I'll share my memories, chat about life in general and share my love of music, old films and more.
You won't find my thoughts on politics, religion and such, as I've always believed them to be personal.
Here, it's all about sharing those things I've learned through the years, and remembering events that have stayed with me.

This is great advice! I’m in the process of recovering from the second time I’ve lost everything, and what a teacher this failure has been!
I've been there too Kevin, and it's recoverable!. Glad the video struck a chord.
Thank you.
One thing for sure. We are all survivors.
Indeed Jonathan. All that's needed is to get up one more time than you fall.
Thanks for watching.
My whole life has been a process of being down and getting up and saying to myself I am still standing thank God
That's the thing to do! Which proves you're not a failure.
I think it happens to many of us and to be a winner, you just have to get up more times than you fall.
Thanks for watching Pam! Onward & upward!
@@JamesMurphyYTthank you James
@@PamHaynes-oo3ck you're welcome
Failure was not on my mind when I lost everything, it was more of a bump in the road of life. My theme song was “I will survive”…and I played that song (gazillions of times) and sang to it quite often until I believed it! And guess what? I did survive. When I look back on that most devastating life moment, it doesn’t seem bad. I guess I did learn something. I like your video’s because they are thought provoking. Realizing what we are not alone in this wonderful world is amazing. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for sharing Dian. I understand how you felt.
I lost my business and everything else when my children were young.
It took everything in me to recover but I had to for them.
I have done a video about the situation.
The thing is you overcame by getting up one more time.
I appreciate you sharing part of your story.
My husband and I have never been afraid to try new things. We've had loads of well meaning folks caution us. Some of our actions have been colossal financial "failures" but I wouldn't trade the experiences for anything. We've been married 41 years and are still trying new things. May it ever be thus!
As I've said before, I lost my business and pretty much everything else when I was 30 and we had two small boys at the time. We had to struggle but we overcame.
Thos are the time when we learn the most.
I believe you have to make your own path and see where it leads. Sometimes you get it right and sometimes you get it wrong.
It's part of life's tapestry.
Thanks for sharing.
We’ve failed at plenty of things we’ve tried, but that’s never stopped us from trying again. 😁
And that's the best way to be. I've always been like that too!
Someone once called it "failing forward."
That's sounds like a good phrase. Thanks for sharing it...and for watching!
@@JamesMurphyYT I've always loved it. Thanks for posting your videos- always enjoy them!
@TheB1nary thank you Paul. I'm glad you find them of value. Your support is gratefully received.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great week! 🙂😘❤
Thank you Tia. You too!
@@JamesMurphyYT Thank You!
Such wise words, not normally communicated by ordinary conventional conversation. Seneca made similar statements. He also said that success is a false reward. It may prove to be the sting that you never wanted. Childhood trauma is a wicked form of failure that will seem to upset the whole balance of life. But somehow the usual safe promises will get replaced by superior solutions to meaning. For me anyways the hurting will shine the healing.
I have to say, I would never have expected to see Seneca's name in a comment about one of my videos!
I would think that success is different for everyone, but for me, getting up one more time than I get knocked down is success.
Thanks as always for your comment.
It's always good to see how other people regard my videos.
I appreciate your support.
Wisdom comes with experience. Experience is often the result of a lack of wisdom.
- Terry Pratchett (I think)
I've made mistakes more than once... just to make sure I learned the lesson.
Thanks for watching!
I'm a pensioner aged 72 still grieving for a wife. I've written 86 novels, six of them best sellers. My work has been read by almost 2 million readers. Have you ever heard of me? No. I am far too old and jaded to try again. Your advice, while effervescent and well meaning, would be positive for those of a youthful disposition but does not work for all.
It sounds to me as though you've been hugely successful!
I'm sorry that you feel old and jaded but grief can do that to you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for taking the time to watch the video.
Failures showed me who my real friends were...
Hint: much much less than I thought. Almost to the point of "friend" being singular, not plural.
I know that feeling. I watched plenty run for the hills when my marriage ended.
When times are tough, you find out the truth.
Thanks for sharing.
