Quote by Marina Abramović

“Failures are very important—they mean a great deal to me. After a big failure, I go into a deep depression and a very dark part of my body, but soon afterward I come back to life again, alive to something else.”

“There will be times when your strength isn’t enough, when you struggle, and relapse, and feel like a total failure. If you base your identity on Him, your performance doesn’t have to define who you are anymore. You will know that you are fully adored, and wholly accepted in both good times and bad.”

“I was no longer missing a piece. Jesus had taken all my insufficiencies, washed them away, and filled the very core of my being with His approval. Just like the day that He had given me a clean slate and released me from jail, now He was doing that same thing internally. He was washing away the belief that I was an inadequate failure who was unworthy and incapable of ever changing. He was making me into a new creation and it was going to be a thoroughly delightful process.”

“Often, in life, we don’t fail. Sometimes, we struggle to do something, get passed over, do something we wish we hadn’t, or give up. But even those moments aren’t truly failures in a pejorative sense. Mistakes, maybe. Suffering at the cruelty of others. Listening to your body and your brain and accepting their natural limitations. But it doesn’t mean you’re a disaster, and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Your journey will just continue on another path.”
