To leverage one's failures, incapacities, and even one's sins.

We do not become strong until we recognize our weakness. And for that, we must experience it; we must truly go through a period of weakness. We must learn to capitalize on our failures, our inadequacies, and even our sins, turning each of them into a reason for trust. Our desire for perfection is often just a masked form of self-love.

(Mary David Totah, OSB /1957–2017/, Joy from God)
