Winners Never Quit

Let’s face it, we’re not going to accomplish everything that we undertake, but that’s not a good reason not to make an attempt.  Life is amazing in that we get a do-over; we can start again.  We’ve all heard the old proverb, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again”.  I’m not trying to glamorize failure – I’m trying to bring it into perspective.

The trick to handling failure is to have someone in your corner; plainly said a support system that will pick you up when you’re down or even better, catch you before you fall.  Getting up is easy when you have a reason to get up; something or someone.  Don’t get caught up in self piety and wallow in failure.  Both are a cancer that will eat away at potential and leave its victims shouldering regret.

I believe, to stay down is not in our human nature.  If that were so, we’d all be crawling around like babies – still.  As babies see others walking, instinctively they know that it is something that they can do, although they’ve never done it before.  The first time they try walking, we as adults know that they won’t succeed.  The event of falling may temporarily scare them, but not even fear keeps them down.  They continue to try until one glorious day they get the hang of it and waddle along accomplishing something that is similar to walking. 

 

Parents burst with pride to see their child doing the simplest thing such as walking.  Just think how our Heavenly Father feels when He sees us accomplishing life; even more so if He’s an intricate part of it.

We live in a cruel world, which is a sad truth, one in which instead of picking you up, some would rather kick you while you’re down.  However, I will say that the bottom view gives you a certain perspective.  It definitely causes you to enjoy, respect, and humbly be grateful for the amount of success that you will achieve; “Started from the bottom, now we here”, got it Drake.

So what is your response to failure?  It’s an individual question that only you can answer.  The grave yard is the one spot with the most potential; but will never be fulfilled.  Sadly, it’s also the one spot with the most regret.  You have one life to live, make the most of it; do not allow the previous two statements to be your story.  Failure is not the end; it’s simply the starting over point of your success.  If you accept this statement, then failure is not on the table which mean failure is not an option.  You got this, so let's go; success, here we come.

This has been your 80 seconds of encouragement.
