It’s your failures that build you….

Life’s a sinusoidal wave…. laden with crests of successes and the accompanying highs and with troughs of failures and the resultant lows….

Success makes it a crowded place indeed… for you will have those teeming many that are so eager to ride together with you…. Everyone loves the highs…. the kick and the excitement…. the ease of bolting on to your hard work seems almost too stupid to pass off on…. Plus who does not like deriving a little comfort from your position of strength…. a little security from that association with what’s going well???

Failures on the other hand are barely even habitable for most… those scary depths!!! Who would want to be there??? The knowledge that you have to be the giver as opposed to be the receiver… the possibility that you are potentially sinking yourself together with he that is barely himself able to swim…. Why risk that most precious and scarce resource called your time on someone whose very time is bad???

When you fail, you find yourself alone many times…. you feel weak…. you feel tested and tired…. And it is then that you must bounce back….

But… It’s when you are in your low that you also get to recognize your true friends… your companions….

It is in your failures… that your strengths are revealed….

It is in those testing times that your true character surfaces….

So cherish your failures…. it is when you fail… that you are built!!!
