#5 I Bear the Wounds of All the Battles I Avoided (Fernando Pessoa)
from עם אחד · host Alon Michael
I am actually very excited about today's episode because today’s key lesson is not a piece of advice, but a warning. In our work, in our path, in our sacrifice to achieve mastery, we must not be those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. The souls who avoided their battles. Instead, we want to be the man, and woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who is making mistakes, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. If you are not failing, you are not even trying! Be the man in the arena, or be the man who bears the wounds of all the battles he avoided.
