Our cages, failures, mistakes and challenges are, in every case, the eggs of wings. The question is not ‘are we suffering’ or have things ‘gone wrong’. The question is will we notice this and apply our effort to hatching these eggs, and gaining the wings hidden inside the shell of hardship. Most of our really profound growth doesn’t come from success. It comes and is shaped by hardship, failure, even, in some cases, despair.
