When you fail, and it will happen, how will you deal with it? Will you lay down, find some friends who will say "Well... you didn't really fail, you were just a victim." Or will you change your standards to match your inadequacies? Or will you get up, dust yourself off and try again?
If you do not fail, you will not grow. If you constantly avoid failure, you truncate your potential. If you make the same mistake over and over, you are not alone. But if you decide that success isn't worth the effort, then you are wrong.
Change is possible, but it will not happen if you are not willing to confront the junk that is in place that facilitates the problem. Pastor Dan Scott preached an awesome sermon about this yesterday at Christ Church. Visit christchurchnashville.org and go to sermons to see it for yourself.
Lord, please give me the strength and wisdom to keep getting back on that old horse every time time I fall off.
