To recognize failure intelligently is the first step toward building success.
Recognize success with thanksgiving, and build more success on that..
You can have anything in life that you really want, but you must be prepared to take the responsibilities that go with it.
God is ready the moment you are.
You really do not know John Smith; you only know the idea that you form of John Smith.
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all (Ephesians 4:6)
No one gets pleasure from recognizing their failures. It hurts and can be debilitating if not done in a healthy way. Yet, just as we learn in Lent, it is essential if we are to ensure a successful garden.
The healthy way is to accept a failure is to take it for what it is; a mistake. It is not the damning of our character or the defining element of it. It is a mistake. It only becomes our defining element when we refuse to face it and take personal responsibility for it. Then it blinds us to the learning aspect of mistakes and prevents us from seeing its true value. When we refuse to face failure, it takes root in our lives and implants itself deep in the soil our psyche. There it can poison all that grows in our gardens.
However, when we root it out, examine it and learn from it, we have turned the first shovel toward planting a successful garden.
Uprooting failure,
