“Ever Tried. Ever Failed. No Matter. Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better” – Samuel Beckett
None of us arrive on this earth ‘wired for sound’. As we go through life, we learn more and more about ourselves. Some things come easy, while other things just take a lot of effort and work to even ‘kinda’ do. Sometimes the thing that we practiced over and over again eventually becomes our strength.
I love watching a baby grow and develop. It’s amazing! One week, the baby is pulling up and really soon, the baby is walking. Sure, even when the baby falls, the baby never gives up! Frustrated? Of course, but continues to try over and over and over again. How do I know this? For those of us who can, we are walking. We all tried, failed, tried again, failed again, failed better and later arrived at the goal/destination of walking.
I use this example with myself about anything I am pursuing. Just this example alone, reminds me to ultimately never, ever, ever give up!
