The Hidden Power of F*cking Up

by Keith Habersberger

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. —Winston fucking Churchill

But more importantly, success should never be your goal; the goal is the experience.

Getting a diagnosis and a prescription for medication should have been the beginning of an effortless cruise into feeling amazing, but if this process has taught me anything, it’s that treatment is a bumpy road.

You get one life, one body, one go at this whole thing. Make yourself your own responsibility and let’s get living.

your perception of the worst thing that can happen is always worse than reality.

You and your friends owe it to yourselves to check in with one another and ensure that you not only have each other’s backs, but that you can tell each other plain truths face-to-face, and sometimes test preconceived roles and notions.
