In that quiet corner where doubt takes shelter,169Please respect copyright.PENANAupXX0HYysD
Fear lingers—unbidden, unwelcome.169Please respect copyright.PENANAKLBtnfvx5Z
It murmurs in the recesses of the mind,169Please respect copyright.PENANAVMrti5Q2bu
A chorus of imagined verdicts, cruel and premature.
Time, that merciless mirror, enlarges each flaw,169Please respect copyright.PENANAeAJ7leoH0p
Every misstep replayed in merciless clarity.169Please respect copyright.PENANA85hkKZUDux
But here lies a truth so often overlooked:169Please respect copyright.PENANAZGR2FGRKhQ
Even the fall teaches, if one dares to see.
What we call failure is seldom the end—169Please respect copyright.PENANA3ENvBy7NLG
More often, it is a turning, a redirection.169Please respect copyright.PENANAoq9yxW6Z00
Growth, after all, is not without bruises;169Please respect copyright.PENANA5gV3q6IkCT
The soil of progress is tilled by imperfection.
So if you should find yourself adrift,169Please respect copyright.PENANA0E8J6hQmTl
Measure not the distance from the shore,169Please respect copyright.PENANAi1jRjvFNuu
But the courage it takes to stay afloat—169Please respect copyright.PENANAsFMBCr494L
To keep rowing when the map is no more.
Let your missteps speak, not of shame, but of becoming.169Please respect copyright.PENANAIbxDXjpMbD
Let each scar be footnoted with wisdom hard-won.169Please respect copyright.PENANAt2kCy34PXI
We are all unfinished stories,169Please respect copyright.PENANAWd6PJMDCer
And in some chapters, failure is simply foresight.
