Fundamentally, I am good

'We can begin to understand that we can be with those feelings of failure - to allow those feelings- and even train ourselves to say, "I haven't done anything wrong; I'm not a bad person . I'm not a failure; I'm not a mess-up; I haven't blown it." Or, "Fundamentally, I am good, and I can allow this feeling; I can experience this feeling . I can stay with this feeling for now, maybe two seconds , or maybe four seconds, or maybe even longer."'

- Pema Chodron in "fail fail again fail better"
