In that quiet corner where doubt takes shelter,167Please respect copyright.PENANAJRohcJUQO2
Fear lingers—unbidden, unwelcome.167Please respect copyright.PENANAPbLsvL0t3M
It murmurs in the recesses of the mind,167Please respect copyright.PENANAKfJj9rg0HD
A chorus of imagined verdicts, cruel and premature.
Time, that merciless mirror, enlarges each flaw,167Please respect copyright.PENANALB5HQVVGrq
Every misstep replayed in merciless clarity.167Please respect copyright.PENANAVBCBByX3y9
But here lies a truth so often overlooked:167Please respect copyright.PENANAgVMFVkTrPw
Even the fall teaches, if one dares to see.
What we call failure is seldom the end—167Please respect copyright.PENANADGq7LCgEhF
More often, it is a turning, a redirection.167Please respect copyright.PENANAMJMJPzd6Mk
Growth, after all, is not without bruises;167Please respect copyright.PENANA3jG6iVQRlW
The soil of progress is tilled by imperfection.
So if you should find yourself adrift,167Please respect copyright.PENANAACJpl8wjO5
Measure not the distance from the shore,167Please respect copyright.PENANAAhNUCwahSl
But the courage it takes to stay afloat—167Please respect copyright.PENANAIPkZiOoqUC
To keep rowing when the map is no more.
Let your missteps speak, not of shame, but of becoming.167Please respect copyright.PENANA8xuK6lAPlo
Let each scar be footnoted with wisdom hard-won.167Please respect copyright.PENANAahqpjbssfn
We are all unfinished stories,167Please respect copyright.PENANA9UG7C5L3IG
And in some chapters, failure is simply foresight.
