“I like scars. You haven’t lived if you haven’t got them” (Great Work quote)
“I like scars. You haven’t lived if you haven’t got them.”
~ Chrissie Wellington, Triathlete
I came across this quote in this article, and loved it immediately. It combines with another favourite quote of mine, “wisdom enters through the wound”. Wound = scar = wisdom = life.
==> What scars do you have? What wisdom did you collect on the way?
- “…scar tissue all over my body…” (Great Work quote)
- “You cannot create experience. You must undergo it” (Great Work quote)
- “the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is…” (Great Work quote)
- “Wisdom never kicks at the iron walls it can’t bring down” (Great Work quote)
- “You can’t get to Wonderful without…” (Great Work quote)

Very true. Sounds much better that way than “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
It’s from our failures and mistakes that we become smarter and more successful…that’s how you learn right?
*WOW* WOW* WOW* I love, no adore, no um what’s better than adore? Whatever that it, I (that word) the spirit of your Five Big Questions animation … it is so inspiring and wonderful. Do you have the text to it written out somewhere? I would so love to print it out and post it … wonderful … fabulous … you rock! And most of all … thank you.
Warmly,
