“The Million Ways To Fail
–
Tuesday, June 30, 2015
Here’s how you fail: You fail with your heart on your sleeve.
You fail like you mean it with every part of you.
You fail attempting the impossible and the ridiculous.
You fail in front of others and you fail and they laugh at you and you fail and you feel nothing and regret less.
You fail sincerely and earnestly and you risk everything at every opportunity.
This is how you fail: You fail beautifully
You fail with grace.”
