’failure is an event not a person’ (I think it’s by ziggler?)
As far as I’m concerned no one is a failure but we can sometimes fail and by failing we often learn valuable lessons which help us to succeed next time when we try again. Sometimes we even learn that something isn’t for us or doesn’t suit us and so we don’t try it again, that’s okay too.

Sometimes I rush around get nowhere fast and catastrophising, I should bear this quote in mind more often!
"You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have."
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away."
"Courage – you develop courage by doing small things like just as if you wouldn’t want to pick up a 100-pound weight without preparing yourself."
Dante’s Alighieri.
Recently I've enjoyed the motto of the explorer Sir Francis Drake, which was "Sic parvis magner" - greatness from small beginnings.I like it because it's Latin and very few people will know what it means unless they go out of their way to learn and translate it. Plus it's motivational and fun to say
"If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by."
Having been abused and mistreated many times throughout my life I take comfort that eventually what goes around comes around and people get their comeuppance.
And one of my favourite Latin phrases
In Vino Veritas
In wine there is truth
REDSAPPHIRE (SAKINAH) x
"All the time I've wasted chasing rabbits down the hole, when I was born to be the tortoise and I was born to walk alone"
I've always felt a lot of pressure to live my life at the same fast pace as everyone else. I get so overwhelmed and my history of mental illness stemmed from a lot of pressure to be successful and live a certain way from a young age. So when I heard this song I loved these few lines as it made me realise it is ok to take life at your own pace and we don't all have to live the same lives. It is ok that I have made mistakes and I might be "behind" some of my peers now but that's ok - I wouldn't be who I am if I hadn't.
And i took the one less travelled by.
And that has made all the difference
