Reality…

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

– Michael Jordan

I have been thinking about this quote. I like it because it is simple reality. I fail. I have in the past and I will again in the future. It is what I do after the failure that matters. It is what I do with the fear of failure that will define my future.

It is wet and cold today.  But I love wet and rainy days. Just as much as I love warm and sunny. For different reasons. Like coffee at 2pm kinda reasons. =)

    I have to chuckle when you say you ‘like’ rainy days. I would take everyday sunny and warm and bright and cheery! When its a rainy, I feel so lazy and today I even took a nap. Right now I am enjoying my decafe coffee … one thing that tastes good on a wet day. So glad you enjoy days like today … hopefully, warmer weather will be back for me A.S.A.P.!!!!! Take care!

    I’m pretty sure the best part of a rainy day is adorable rain boots from Target, just sayin’ =]

    What great words to live by. (: I think fear of failure is what seeds out the good from the mediocre in this biz. Keep feeding those fears and that beautiful work that comes out of them. Happy Wednesday!
