“The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails… Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”― T.H. White

I wholeheartedly agree with this. It is such a relief to let go of a need to get it right every time, to be perfect without practice. How much better to be willing to give something your all and, when it doesn’t go as planned or turn out as desired, to look at it as an opportunity to learn something that couldn’t be learned in any other way.
