Perspective

The Failure Paradox: You have to fail more to succeed more. Our greatest moments of growth often stem directly from our greatest failures. Don’t fear failure, just learn to fail smart and fast.

A handwritten quote from <n>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</n> attributed to <n>F. Scott Fitzgerald</n>.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die."

Some things take time. Some things take years before you see how it comes together. But the more you can remember the wholeness of it all, the more you will find that despite your unknowing, the grass, the trees, and the creatures throughout this vast landscape are still growing, and somehow, through it all, it all works together, and you too, are part of that. and it’s okay if it takes time to see this. Wisdom is gathered over years, not minutes. Trust in slowness. Trust in thoroughness. - Morgan Harper Nichols
