“the heroic path is, essentially, about making small choices that add up to a big life. A life in which you make a difference—in yourself, in others, in the world. A life in which you forgive yourself for your trespasses, knowing that you’ve learned from them, and in which you forgive the trespasses of others. A life in which you close your eyes for the last time without regret, confident that you took the hours and days and years you were given and made something spectacular out of them.”

“choose to see problems as opportunities, as challenges spurring new ways of thinking and personal growth.”

“That’s why I encourage students to fail early, often, and as cheaply as possible. No sane person welcomes stones in the road. But don’t build your life around never facing one. These obstacles are the necessary means for developing the faith and persistence to overcome the real challenges that inevitably confront any person who has set out to do something heroic.”
― Robert Sirico, A Field Guide for the Hero's Journey

“Yet, it is moments like these that hone the gifts and build the character that will pave the way to future success. Sure, sometimes scars—even open wounds—remain. But if you can muster the drive, courage, and confidence to get back up and try again, you will not be defined by obstacles; you’ll be defined as one who overcomes them.”
