"Failure is the opportunity to start again intelligently"
In a life's ball game, sometimes we also take the ball and run in the wrong direction. We stumble and fumble-loss of job, failed marriages, indebtedness and bankruptcy........and become so ashamed of ourselves that we never want to try again. For fear of failing again we opt to crawl going back home. Can you ever imagine yourselves crawling the rest of your life when God says "Get up and go back!"
We set ourselves for failure:
1. When we don't plan ahead
2. When we think we are infallible
3. When we are afraid to take risk
4. When we give up to soon
5. When we don't accept the guidance from God
My friend, welcome to the wonders of human race. We will fail at many things, we are not great at anything, we cannot sail through life with unbroken strings of success, at times our aim is off, our judgement is at fault, our timing is poor or simply called all these as an "EDUCATION"
If things haven't turned at the way you expected. don't blame or complain, don't make excuses, discover what you can learn from these experience and start again. Slam the door of self-pity, Refocus and let God guide you up. He has a unique way of overriding our big mistakes and bring good out of them.
Get up and finish the race! "Its not too late to start over"
"I waited patiently for the Lord to help me and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. they will put their trust in the Lord." (Psalm 40:1-4)
Dedicated to our success!

Plan ahead- work with a purpose. Winners always have a sense of mission. they know where they are headed and have figured out how to get there. they are focused, they plan their work and work with their plan.
ReplyDeletenever make excuses- winners never play the blame game. They accept the responsibility for their mistakes.
ReplyDeleteResolve to stick with it -winners don.t know how to quit. They keep on "hanging on" they learn from their failures. They realize that discouragement is a choice. You can get up and start over

ReplyDeleteJust because someone failed in the past, it doesn't mean you remind them of their failures. If they are still driving forward they are not a failure. They are on "THEIR" journey to succeed, NOT yours. Remember, everyone moves at a different pace.
