From The Ashes We Will Rise Again 🔥 (LIGHT IN THE SHADOWS)

Failure purifies us, burns off the waste we have accumulated, and reveals the essence of our
Being. It in this state that we can learn to see the lights in our shadows. From the Ashes We Will Rise Again.

FAILURE RULE #1: Failure Purifies is our friend.
It is when we are weighed down by the overbearing blinding effect of the shadows that enshroud us that failure can purify us and enable the light in the shadows to emerge.

There are many strains of failure that can occur. They are not all avoidable. They are not all self-imposed. Some failure—the general experiential failure synonymous with the mere participation in the human condition—simply occurs to us or around us or enshrouds our circumstances without consulting our will and without ratification.

It is this type of failure—contained within Failure Rule #1: Failure Purifies, that J.R.R. Tolkien, the father of high fantasy, knew well during his time serving with the British army in World War I.

Watch this video and hear more about how J.R.R. Tolkien rose from the ashes of the failure that encircled him and how you can too.
