"Bad times are just times that are bad" I know it's supposed to be meaningless and funny but it makes me feel better about bad times, like, "it's a bad day, not a bad life" sorta thing and I literally have a cross stitch of it on my wall.
I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. —Michael Jordan
I like it because it reminds me failure is okay. It's okay to not be perfect the first time around, it's okay to fail and fail again. Failure is normal in life and to be expected. Just like the phoenix, you fall before you rise.
