This quote may not look directly applicably, but it has given me the most hope when I feel I have fallen so short I can never be redeemed. I carried it around with me for years. The RELIEF I felt was profound. I hope you feel the same.
When you expect it least, the ego, declared dead, will surge into your soul, and in an instant you'll feel as far removed from Tao as Heaven from Earth.
Has this ever happened to you? Don't despair, let it go, do what comes next. Accepting failure is a humbling experience, akin to enlightenment. In an instant you'll discover that Heaven and Earth are one and that you've never been separated from Tao.
The Taoist sage lives learning to accept failure, and so never fails.
