You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
We can all learn a thing or three from "The Man in Black". Man, what a life he led and I must say he definitely learned from his many mistakes in a spectacular way.

Love the patio pattern.
Great words from a wise man.
i'd hate to keep that patio weed-free, but i guess it's just like life - you've gotta keep after it...

Nice quote. Johnny Cash developed his own special wisdom.
Stepping stones it is...
I think those are powerful words to live by. Thanks,
Well, he must have lived by this philosophy because he didn't let his mistakes stop him from experiencing his true passion.
Absolutely true. I think we are all a little guilty of letting our mistakes steal our energy. Mr. Cash gives good advice.
I miss his ability to turn words into inspiration.
Then again, words, especially his, are timeless. So glad you chose to share these, in particular, today. Thanks Dawn!
Wonderful quote Dawn and the photo is perfect.
