Failure‚ while a challenge and a pain in the moment‚ leads to greater potential and later success when experience is gained from the failure. When nothing is learned from failure‚ it is a wasted opportunity. Ever since I was a kid‚ I played golf. I loved going out for a round after school with my dad and brother. We were not very good‚ but my freshman year (my brother’s senior year) we both tried out for the golf team at school. Neither of us had ever played competitively‚ so it was a whole new game

We are Not Apart from Nature We Are Not Apart From Nature Sitting alone in the forest on a quiet day in December‚ feeling rather ill‚ depressed‚ and in need of rest‚ I let my mind wander as the cold breeze blew all around me. The world‚ at that moment‚ appeared much more peaceful and much more accepting. The mental war I was fighting seemed to be subdued‚ at least for a moment.
