…you find yourself at the bottom of the ocean with sand in your nose and in your mouth… you have the choice to lie there or to stand up and start walking forward …the waves keep coming …. And you keep cultivating your courage, bravery, and sense of humor to relate to the situation and the waves …and you keep getting up and going forward…taken from Fail, Fail Agsin, Fail Better by Pema Chodron
