Daily Lift #171
It takes courage to begin again after the collapse of a project, an organization, or a business. One has spent much time and energy and things didn't work out as well as one would have wished. Experiencing this makes one more wary about the future.
The more "failures," the more courage you'll need in order to begin again -- and the greater amount of courage that you gain when you do actually begin again.
(From Rabbi Pliskin's book, "Courage")
