Quote by John Hunter

“The ability to overcome failure—to live through it and move on—is crucial. If we are not willing to face failure—if we don't have the skills to survive it—we have precluded any real creativity or risk. Failure may never become our friend, but if we are to do meaningful work, perhaps failure needs to be our companion.”

“We are not meant to rise endlessly, nor to hold on forever. There is wisdom in allowing ourselves to fall, when it is time to fall—whether into silence, into rest, into the arms of another, or into the unknown mystery that asks us to trust. Such falling need not be met with regret. It can be embraced with reverence, knowing that what falls into the earth does not vanish, but becomes the ground of something new.”
