Embrace Failure.*
“When you fail, fall all the way to the ground…
The willingness to fall all the way to the ground requires trust that the loss give you as much power as the win. Falling all the way to the ground means accepting your failure completely. It is the willingness to look directly at the actions and motivations that got you here.
Learning to see clearly requires meeting failure at every turn, without avoiding its emotional impact though denial, blaming others, or running toward a new goal.”
~Tim Burkett, Zen in the Age of Anxiety
*Seriously
Kristin Neff, PhD

This is your brain on fear.
“The first step, I’m sorry to say, is to love your fear.”
~Jack Kornfield
