3 " I've failed in communication...and so I've learned to have open and honest dialogue at the opportune, and appropriate time.

I've failed in relationships...and so I've learned to appreciate the people in my life, and to treat them with kindness.

I've failed in paying bills...and so I've learned to properly and effectively manage my time, my talent and my resources.

I've failed in work or business ventures...and so I've learned to be more prudent with planning, and more efficient in execution.

I've failed in dodging a ball...and so I've learned to anticipate danger and to protect myself.

I don't mind acknowledging my failures, because they've played a valuable part to my successes.

Live, Love, Learn, and Be Well. "

― Katrena Patterson
