Falling Short


It is not the victory; it is the journey.

Evolution comes from failure, not from getting it right.

Resiliency makes the person, not success.

I respect perserverance over flawless attempts.

 

It is awe inspiring to see where you have been,

and awesome to see where you are going.

There is hope in knowing what you've been through,

and knowing what you can do.

 

Falling short doesn't mean you failed,

but you found what didn't work.

Falling short is almost more important

than being perfect.
