Quote of the Day

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall. 
Ralph Waldo Emerson


This one's a classic that is so often voiced. So often expressed as something wise, something that'll help us succeed better in life, yet it's my experience that taking it to heart, really living it and incorporating it into the way we view ourselves is extremely difficult.
So think about this. Don't just think of it in terms of people you admire, people who inspire you in life, but relate it to yourself. I'm not better off always getting it right, always succeeding - necessarily even getting things done or manage to acquire things I want now - but rather making mistakes and overcoming disappointments or misunderstandings and...and this may be a little out there...even getting yourself into something that you know you'll fail at - to learn from it, grow, and maybe be able to do it after a time or two of getting it absolutely, horrendously wrong - may be the better option.
