The best part about scars, failures and shortcomings

Scars, failures and shortcomings make the work better.

How?

Scars reveal that you experienced something difficult, but were the stronger of the two.

Failures reveal that you tried something difficult, and learned a lesson that will make that difficult thing more likely to be accomplished by you than by someone who had not.

Shortcomings reveal that you have still yet work to do, and that your very best has yet to be experienced by the world.

How could these things be anything but good things for the work you’re about to embark on?
