A loss teaches humility and resilience. Failure expands our capacity to take risks, to try hard things, to persevere even when success isn’t guaranteed. And it’s only in defeat that we learn what truly matters to us.*

The important stuff has no finish line.**
James Clear

This has not been easy but
you are keeping going, not only
pushing on with what you must do –
Seeing it develop as a result – but
also growing a stronger self –
Heart, soul, and mind stronger;
Reflecting on failures, picking yourself up and
starting over are a badge of honour and
nobility and enlightenment:
You are becoming relentless.

By the way,
I’m taking a few weeks away from posting thin|silence, but
I can’t not do it, so I have prepared and scheduled
a little thin|silence for each day –
Thank you for following.
