Quote by Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

“Much of the wisdom I have gained was gained through failure. I have failed an insane amount of times. And I've probably failed at everything it's possible to fail at. I've failed in every category of life - from family to money to business to marriage and more. I've had small failures, big failures, and even disastrous life-altering failures. I've even failed at some of the same things multiple times before I learned the lesson I needed to learn. I've had failures that cost me personally, failures that cost my family and friends, and even failures that cost a lot of people I never met. But with every failure, I gained new wisdom. And all of this failure has allowed me to cultivate success.”

“Just as the opposite of addiction is connection, not mere sobriety, the antidote to separation and suffering is not enmeshed relationships, but the embodiment of our fundamental nondual nature—the acceptance that we are inherently interconnected beings. The separate self perspective acts as "inner colonialism," imposing an artificial individual identity on our interconnected consciousness. This colonization of the self dominates and subjugates our deeper, nondual nature, creating borders within our experience. Similar to colonial powers, it drains us of vitality and belonging. It leads to an "imperialism of consciousness," reinforcing the separate self narrative and undermining our interdependence with life. Recognizing this dynamic reveals the toll on our psyche, emotions, and spirituality, as it severs us from meaning and wholeness. Undoing this colonialism liberates us to reclaim our interconnected, nondual nature.”

“Growing up I would hear my parents and many others in society that you should always succeed but never fail in anything. This is where the seed of failure is seeded in the minds of generations that failing is bad. But the truth is failure is the first step towards success if you haven't failed you have not succeeded. We have a negative relationship with failure in fact we need to understand failure has come to make us even better, stronger and greater version of ourselves. It is okay to fail and it is okay to fail multiple times but the only thing we need to carry is never giving up attitude towards the goals we are trying to achieve. The more you fail the more you are taught from the failure deeper understanding of success.”
