Never Quit, Begin Again, Smarter & Wiser

Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul. – Douglas MacArthur

I’ve also heard that the only way you lose is if you give up.

It’s true.

Failure is deciding that not getting exactly what you want is a bad thing.

Everything we do yields a result.

Every result can be learned from.

Therefore, everything is a lesson.

When you’re willing to learn, your soul smiles.

When you’re not, it waits until you’re ready.

The lesson and the wisdom it contains is always there, waiting for you.
