A Quote by Bonnie Hunt

Separate yourself from your ideas and your work and see them as something separate from yourself, you’ll feel you truly have the right to be wrong. If an idea fails, why not let it be the idea’s fault instead of your own? Allow your ideas to fail without turning them into personal defeat. When you fail you discover your boundaries. You map out the edges of your capabilities. And this allows you to eventually move beyond them. Being wrong eventually leads to being right.

When you fail by your own standards, it's a form of success.
It's your life - but only if you make it so. The standards by which you live must be your own standards, your own values, your own convictions in regard to what is right and wrong, what is true and false, what is important and what is trivial. When you adopt the standards and the values of someone else . . . you surrender your own integrity. You become, to the extent of your surrender, less of a human being.
When you are able to maintain your own highest standards of integrity - regardless of what others may do - you are destined for greatness.

I want young women to know that it is OK to fail - it's not OK to stay home. It's not OK to not try.

And we'll not fail.
