No man ever fails until he fails on the inside. Success is not measured by the heights one attains, but by the obstacles that were overcome in their attainment. Good evening friends :) How are things going for you? I picked this piece and thought to share with you. This weeks message is one that we all can relate to. Lifes challenges and pressures can weigh heavily on each of our hearts and minds. I hope this message is an encouragement to you. Failure does not equal defeat. Failure does not equal defeat; they are two separate things. Failure is a part of every life; everyone fails at times. Defeat is when you dont rebound, but instead allow failure to turn what could be a successful life into a wasted one through self-pity and fear of the opinions of men. Feelings of inferiority are Satans attempts to deny the power of God within you. * One good thing about failure is that you appreciate the victory all the more. Its not the failing that counts, but what you do with it. No one has ever made a discovery, won a victory, or had a breakthrough without first experiencing some failures, yet refusing to let those failures defeat them. * Failing is often Gods way of helping you to zero in on His highest and best. As your own programs crumble into dust, Hes right there with a new blueprint for something much better. You can fail many times—in different things—and you will. But youre not a failure as long as you keep getting up and trying again. * Always remember that theres a difference between failure, —which happens many times in our lives, and being a failure —which only happens if we decide to give up and quit. Theres a big difference between saying I fail and Im a failure. Theres no disgrace in saying the first—which is just a fact of life—but you should never say Im a failure unless youve decided to give up. The basic rules for success may be defined as follows: Know what you want. Find out what it takes to get it. Act on it and persevere. No one is a failure who can truly say, I have done my best.
