In that quiet corner where doubt takes shelter,227Please respect copyright.PENANABgqqu1hs2H
Fear lingers—unbidden, unwelcome.227Please respect copyright.PENANAxWgxH16WVD
It murmurs in the recesses of the mind,227Please respect copyright.PENANADosDFhDlFl
A chorus of imagined verdicts, cruel and premature.
Time, that merciless mirror, enlarges each flaw,227Please respect copyright.PENANAbXGz9cyccH
Every misstep replayed in merciless clarity.227Please respect copyright.PENANAzYe8T3caBC
But here lies a truth so often overlooked:227Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Dtf1JMgY
Even the fall teaches, if one dares to see.
What we call failure is seldom the end—227Please respect copyright.PENANA8Pz4FbQ2BZ
More often, it is a turning, a redirection.227Please respect copyright.PENANA1QGa0yyJ8W
Growth, after all, is not without bruises;227Please respect copyright.PENANA0gF0UApsUK
The soil of progress is tilled by imperfection.
So if you should find yourself adrift,227Please respect copyright.PENANAPnJFGWoPxv
Measure not the distance from the shore,227Please respect copyright.PENANA18apgdDQvk
But the courage it takes to stay afloat—227Please respect copyright.PENANASFh33XPigO
To keep rowing when the map is no more.
Let your missteps speak, not of shame, but of becoming.227Please respect copyright.PENANARGoJCFHLlm
Let each scar be footnoted with wisdom hard-won.227Please respect copyright.PENANAIdSiaCTr1K
We are all unfinished stories,227Please respect copyright.PENANA5RqTOz9rbA
And in some chapters, failure is simply foresight.
