Concern yourself not with what you tried _x000D_ and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.
Interpretation
Focus on future possibilities rather than past failures.
This quote encourages individuals to shift their attention from past mistakes or unsuccessful attempts to the opportunities and potential achievements that lie ahead. It suggests that dwelling on what has not gone well can hinder personal growth and progress, while recognizing and embracing the possibilities that are still available can foster a more positive and proactive mindset.
In practice
During a motivational speech to students about resilience and perseverance.
...it is proper that the duty of helping the poor and unfortunate should especially stir Catholics, since they are members of the Mystical Body of Christ. In this we have come to know the love of God, said John the Apostle, that He laid down His life for us, and we likewise ought to lay down our life for the brethren. He who has the goods of this world and sees his brother in need and closes his heart to him, how does the love of God abide in him? (1Jn 3:16 17)
Consult not your fears but your hopes _x000D_ and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.
Progress is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow
The only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing
You were born to run. Maybe not that fast, maybe not that far, maybe not as efficiently as others. But to get up and move, to fire up that entire energy-producing, oxygen-delivering, bone-strengthening process we call running.
Don't fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.
I look at myself like a show dog. I've got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape.
I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.
