Some thoughts on Failure and Success (100 word post, 3 of 50)

Failure is just an opportunity to see things as they really are, to see yourself as you really are. Failure gives you the luxury of examining what you want and why you want it. Failure gives you a chance to feel, to experience the pain of wanting and not achieving, to live exposed and vulnerable. Failure allows you to admit your weaknesses and find creative ways to overcome them. Failure teaches patience, persistence, endurance and resilience. Failure educates and deepens your appreciation of what is precious to you. Failure builds character and true skills. Success lets you skip all that.
