"Ultimately, we know deep inside that the other side of every fear is freedom," Marilyn Ferguson.
It is overcoming that fear of failure that creates success. It is allowing what brings many misfortune, to bring you prosperity. To most photographers, negatives destroyed by static electricity are undeniable failures. To others it breeds thoughts of revolution. Using that very failure, not to destroy artwork, but to create it. To use the stormy waves Life hurls at you and steer your ship towards safety. For one to look not at what happened, but what can ultimately happen.
They say life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it. So it's never too late to begin turning the tides in your favor.
