It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard

You can do everything right and still lose, still face heart break, and still face setbacks.

To this day, that is one of my favorite fictional quotes of all time. It’s something that for years every now and again I have to remind myself of, since our modern world focuses so extremely on success in all ways at all costs.

It’s kinda scary actually…
