“A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable and inadequate and will lead to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed.”
“Failure concentrates the mind wonderfully. If you don't make mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.”
“No matter how much they want it, or how much I want it, I can't make it happen. The feeling of failure is familiar. I always tried so hard to be everything they wanted”
“Do not contemplate what lies beyond failure while you are still trying to succeed.”
“Everyone expected him to succeed, no matter what the arena, and so failure, even temporary failure, had ceased to be an option.”
“Oh sweetheart, I know what failure is...But as hard as it is, you have to lean in to those feelings. You hadn't have much failure in your life, Sarah. It takes practice to get good at it. It hurts like holy hell, but it's important. It's the door that will lead you into your future.”
