The truth is that, while often times painful, defeat hasn’t held me back in life so much as it has propelled me forward... Maybe not as quickly as I would have liked and sometimes not in the direction I anticipated but it has never been a barrier to success. As a mom, I recognize that this notion is somewhat antithetical to how I’ve been raising my sons. When I tell them “no” I don’t want them fighting me. I expect them to relent and retreat. But more and more, I am welcoming debates and negotiations because I don’t want them to be so easily inclined to take “no” for an answer. (Even if that means more work for me) My life is infinitely better for not getting the things I thought I wanted not simply bc I was told “no” but because I never accepted it. It takes a combination of discipline and rage to be all things perhaps most especially an artist. Yes, you have to be good at what you do, you have to work at it day and night. But even great artists give up. It is only the angry ones, the ones so outraged by rejection that they pull themselves up and come back even harder that prevail. Failure is a gift because the deeper that it carves its way into your soul, the deeper the story you have to tell. I want my kids to view defeat as the absolute gift that it is. It is always an invitation! It is life’s way of saying “You can do better” Let it motivate you, let it penetrate you, let it set you on fire. Because though it might not always look like it, you will win in the end. I don’t know when exactly this fucking book will be done but I do know that it is going to be motherfucking strong because I’ve had to fight for it. The easy shit isn’t worth reading anyway... #momsouttherekillingit」12月2日 22時14分
