Love this!! Especially the last two…I am on a panel for technical women in a couple of weeks entitled “Success through Failure” – mind if I steal your line for it?
Couldn’t help but read through 3 times immediately! Thank you for the inspiration as always, Lauren!
Great words, great thought.
i really enjoy this… I find myself thinking along the same lines:
anyone can read inspirational blogs, quotes, and books.
can you apply the teachings to your own life???
take care
I enjoyed the assessment! I can say yes to some but not all. Something for me to work on.
Thank you for this! It’s a wonderfully accurate look at what it takes to be a strong athlete. I struggle at times with the failing/failure distinction and this is a great reminder for me. Love this.
This is a great read it makes me work harder on health and motivates me to push even harder in my workout routine, I will try to remember this before I start my daily exercises.
