Quote of the day: "in order to have more success, you need to be willing to accept more failure."

This particular quote struck a chord with me and my tendencies towards perfectionism and how I'm often shy to show my work until I've got it finished and all the kinks worked out. But there's a certain freedom in being able to try and fail and get up to try again out in the open. Just something I've been working out with myself. Trying to let go and just accept yourself right where you are. Many of us go through life hiding parts of ourselves. Why? Because we think people will not accept us. While that's true, some people will not accept you for who you really are, but they may not be the right people to have in your life. Abandoning all opinions and letting go, being true to yourself.. This is will lead you to your most true self, and in turn the company of those you keep may change, but if you're willing to take the leap of faith into the unknown for a while, you just might come upon something simple and glorious. 

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something.
