Likely one of the biggest failures is believing that I’m always on verge of failure. An even bigger failure is to believe that I can’t do anything about that.

More times than not, my solution to a situation is really more about my attempt to come up with a solution to the fact that I don’t have one.

When my vision is numbed by apathy and narrowed by mediocrity, I can stand in the presence of great things and fail to see even the smallest of things.

Undoubtedly, failure is growth in pain’s disguise.

If I’m conceited enough to believe I’m invincible, then maybe it will take me doing the very thing I swore I would never do to understand that I’m not as wonderful as I thought I was.

The fear of getting knocked down is less about the pain of the fall and more about the embarrassment in having fallen. And so, to rid myself of the latter is to reduce my concern about the former, which means I just unleashed my life.

Failure is information encased in a shell of pain.

Most of my failures can be ascribed to the fact that I chose that which was ‘easy’ over that which was ‘right’. And while it’s ‘right’ to admit this to myself, it isn’t ‘easy.’ So, which choice am I going to make this time?

The reason placing blame repeatedly fails to work is that I repeatedly place it on everyone else instead of where it actually belongs.
