It hurts me to see you getting such a bad rap in our culture. So I wanted to take a moment and thank you for everything you’ve done for me.
Failure, thank you for existing.
Thank you for teaching me what I could have never learned from success alone.
Thank you for being such a huge part of my journey towards success.
Thank you for keeping me humble.
Thank you for being temporary.
Thank you for existing in others, so I could learn from their mistakes.
Thank you for the tension you provide. I live for it.
Thank you for revealing the harsh truth, and thank you for forcing me to reflect on it.
Thank you for knocking me down. Without you, I would never known how great it feels to get back up.
Thank you for being a friend after all.
You know, Failure, you’re not being nearly as bad as I thought you were.
I hope everyone reading this discovers the same thing.
You're good friend,
jon
