“Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is usually the result of experience. Experience is usually the result of bad judgment.” - Tony Robbins
We can either live to avoid the pain...or to seek the pleasure of success. Failures in life are inevitable and it's important to embrace our failures as we do our success.
Alan Watts explains it best by explaining that people tend to focus on the peaks of life without understanding that they cannot exist without the valleys. It's easier to embrace our failure and low points in life with the understanding that one cannot exist without the other. Our peaks cannot exist without valleys. It is our suffering that allows the opportunity to experience joy.
