There is no failure, unless we fail to begin or we fail to continue.
Your life is not a result of your potential, skills or desires, but of your consistent expectations and actions, which largely flow from your values and beliefs.
Be careful what you look for and expect in life, because you will either find it or create it.
Growth or stagnation? There is no in-between. Life always seeks more of itself and death picks up the slack.
If you don't know exactly what you want, that is exactly what you will get.
