Beyond Failure

For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again. Proverbs 24:16

We make mistakes in our daily lives. When we pursue our aspirations, we often make mistakes and we often fail. We have set backs after set backs and we have disappointments.

 We fail at relationships. We fail at being a parent at times. If we try and we put our necks out in the world to take a chance at something, we could fail multiple times.

Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor company.  However, his early businesses failed and left him completely broke five times before he launched the assembly line for the Ford.

Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken tried and was rejected 1,009 times before a restaurant accepted his recipe for chicken.

We get out hearts broke in relationships and we are reluctant to love again. However, we can grow and learn from our relationship mistakes and move forward a little wiser just like we can move forward from other mistakes.

Don’t stop pursuing the desires of your heart because of rejections. Use any rejection as an opportunity to learn, grow, and perhaps to try even harder with your newly enhanced wisdom and vision. 

     
The next try could be the one that gets you to where you want to be in life! 

Many broken relationships CAN mend! Forgive and get professional help.

The love of your life...... 
or the new friend that you have prayed for..........
or the job that you have been trying so hard to get..........
could all be just around the corner! 

Don't give up. Don't quit trying.

BELIEVE AND STRIVE!   

Implement an effort, allow time, and repeat!

Turn adversity into opportunity! 

Success consists of going from failure to failure
without loss of enthusiasm.
- Winston Churchill

Success is a state of mind.
If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.
- Dr. Joyce Brothers

In order to succeed, you must first be willing to fail.

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.  James 1:12
