I am grateful for my failures.
Lately, in the past few days I have made a mistake, I have thought about the wrong things, spending my time on a woman, losing sleep thinking of a woman. And in putting in time and effort on this woman nothing came of it and I made a mistake, I wasted my time. But! Thanks be to god for these past couple of days because I have learned! I have Grown from this error. Something I remember a ignorant rapper saying was this, you can never fail because every failure is a lesson and therefore you are always winning. While he may be ignorant and flaunt wealth that he doesn’t have what he said was very wise and I’m using that mindset today. You will fail, such is life. But think to yourself Amor Fati. I am thankful for this situation in my life as I will use this as another opportunity to grow. The worst period of my life was my first technical school in the military. I missed my family so bad and I felt as though I had made a terrible decision in enlisting. I grew tremendously! Tremendously! Tremendously! I wouldn’t be the young man I am today if It weren’t for that pain! I discovered stoicism in that time and in this time I discovered that women should never cloud your mind more then “standing on your business.” haha, that was a quote from one of my good friends. Be grateful for everything in this short life, and especially your shortcomings.
The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.
