Did you fail or did you just find another-way that didn’t work?
It’s all in the way YOU look at it.YOUR perception and how YOU perceive it,
is what matters most!
Someone once told Albert Einstein,” see there,you failed again.Albert then
said,” no,I didn’t fail;I just found another-way that didn’t work.This is how we too
should respond when things don’t go as planned.Along the way,you are going
to run into obstacles.However,we need to remember that behind every obstacle
is valuable learning.Some learning you just can’t get from a book or a classroom.
Furthermore,the learning you get from trying and then failing; will help guide you
to your success.
Inventions are a great representation of what I’m talking about.When a person
has an invention,they have to test it to see how well it performs.During the testing
process,many things fail to work properly(failure or another-way that didn’t work).
We need to realize;we are going to fail sometimes.But instead of being negative
about it;we should look for the learning behind the failure.We need to say to
ourselves,” no,I didn’t fail;I just found another-way that didn’t work.
As long as you keep on doing and never give up.You will do all things through
Christ,for he will strengthen you.

Good advice gary. Life isn’t always going to be a cake walk and its how you deal with adversity that defines you. Keep trying till you find a way.

What a great way to look at things. This has really changed my outlook.
Great post. Motivating people to look at failing in a different way. You are so right that Christ will strengthen you (us) as we go along the path of life’s uncertainty. We are constantly faced with barriers that can get us from trying. But I believe try, and try again, until it is done. Your breakthrough (success) can be just beyond the failure. Keep doing what ya do!
