Seek out shipwrecks

  • Sometimes we put too much drama on things that don’t deserve them. Things will eventually go wrong without prior notice, and everything will be affected, including jobs, relationships, and life. At such times we need to find the positive.

  • Your struggles will change your life for the better because even the most unfortunate events can turn out to be for the best. If not, we can always start over.

  • So, take the first step, fail often, and seek out the shipwrecks. Success takes time and experience, and it is a stairway, not a doorway.
