We have failed. Thats a given. We can only go up from failure. There is not a deeper level of failure except to not admit we have failed. If we admit failure, that alone is a success. If we keep trying to sugar coat our failure we are doomed already. God is an expert at taking our failures, our lemons, and making success, lemonade. He actually loves to do that. The mindset change also has to do with acknowledging we are bound to fail. we are human. But failure just shows us more about ourselves in order to make us bigger successes. If we never fail, how can we ever know success? In the past if I tried a diet, lost weight, celebrated with food and gained weight. Id tell myself, see you cant do lose weight. Instead of saying I succeeded and had a setback. What did I learn from the setback? One thing I should have learned is this is a lifestyle change. when you have a setback, you confess it, get forgiveness and keep going. The mindset change is the focus on commitment, no matter what setbacks we have. We give the setback or our weakness to Him and He infuses us with His strength. What Im trying to say is the difference is when we mess up, we know God is there to teach us how to go forward in His strength. Failure means greater dependency on God. Isnt that what we want anyway?
