"Who put canned laughter into my crucifixion scene?" - Charles Simic
Saturday, May 23, 2026
I like quotes about failure, because massive failure is so interwoven with massive success. 'Fail harder', 'Fail again. Fail better'. The risk of failure is always out there. You have to look it in the eye and laugh. You have to accept it as you accept the dirt beneath your nails. Failure is for people who work for something. Failure is for heroes. Failure is an old friend that every time you meet, brings you closer to the truth. Failure is nothing to fear.
I am 45 years old. Based upon all of my experiences and learnings so far, this is the best advice I can give:
Fall in Love and protect it. Protect that love. You have found a fire that looks like God to you: Catch on fire and stay lit. Spread your fire. Spread your love. There are all kinds of winds and waters that seek to put your love out. Grow the flame so it evaporates the water. Use the wind to spread the gospel of your love. Fall in love. Be on fire. Spread the fire. Stay lit.
That is my advice.
