Without realizing it more people are more afraid of being successful than failure. Throughout your life when you had the opportunity to do something and you turn it down because you were not sure how it would turn out, you were more afraid of success than failure. Success and failure are opposite of each other. We all will experience one or the other all throughout our lives. As a general rule people do not fail but suit too soon. Success does not arrive by creating the things that make you feel good without doing good. Fear is a hidden attitude behind failure.
There are three things that we can say about failure. Everyone fails, no one enjoys failing and no one responds the same way to failure. Its not so much what someone says to you but your response. The Holy Bible teaches us that we all have fail or sin and come short of our Savior Glory that is failure. When it comes to failure, I am never down, I am up or getting up. Failure changes your attitude. We all will fail backward or forward. Putting the excuse on someone else is failing forward. Failing forward is when we learn from our mistake and move forward. Deep faith in our creator is faith forward. Failure is never a quick fix. There are somethings that don’t fail; God’s word, His love, His compassion and His promise of eternal life.
With all the lessons learned this nation has had, I wonder why we continue to go down so many paths of failure? Success can be described as the ability of a nations citizen ability to go from failure to failure without loosing enthusiasm. While so many are saying that this nation is failing, we should remember that we are in this together, one nation. One way or another a change is going to come. Thank you and Lord bless.
