cainer is at it again
In the old days, writers would talk about the need to 'screw up some courage'. Perhaps they knew what we have now forgotten. You don't ever get real courage - or real wisdom - until you first screw things up. Success means nothing without failure. A person who has not properly tasted difficulty will never have any real appreciation of ease. The person who never gets anything wrong is a disaster waiting to happen - a dangerously deluded dreamer. Not all has gone exactly as you might have wished lately. That's precisely why things are soon due to go so well.The strong know that no amount of willpower or determination can keep emotional vulnerability at bay. Life is not asking you to fight now. It is asking you to embrace a weakness with grace and wisdom.
sometimes i need to be reminded how things really are and then i can go back to saving the world again =)
