Out of Failure Comes Success

Today’s message is a little shorter than the others as it kind of stands on it’s own legs.

Going Against the Grain & Breaking the Mold

You know when I hear both of those things, they sound like super uncomfortable things. Breaking a mold from the inside out is no easy feat and when it worked so well, why would you want to.

Going against the grain is just itchy and awkward.

So if it’s easier to go with the flow, or stay within the mold, why would we want to?

Similar to Wednesday, that’s how we grow. Doing something different or outside of what we normally do gives us new experiences and talents as well as lets us find our own strengths and weaknesses.

We want our children to go through failures so they can find strength, and yet as adults sometimes we’re resistant to change or do new things.

We’re never too old OR too set in our ways to learn. It’s never too late to change a way of thinking, to learn a new skill, to break a habit, or to try something new.

And, it’s okay to fail. Out of failure comes success, but success cannot come without failure. Each failure we have influences and helps mold future successes.

Quote for today:

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill

And one more for good measure:
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy
