‘Frequently, in a journey of the soul, the most precious moments are the mistakes.  They have brought you to a place which you would otherwise have always avoided.’*

A mistake or a failure can be a doorway too.

Helping me to see myself in a different way, in a way I wouldn’t normally welcome or pursue.  Then I have an opportunity to grow.

The mistake or failure you most avoid may be the thing the world needs you to make.
