Seeking Enlightment.

Submitted by Pablo Benavente.

“Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential; I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to directing all my energy to the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else I would never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena where I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized. I was still alive, and still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter, and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”

Goodnight, sweet soul
