Do not fear failure

-

FAILURE IS not your stop sign, but your green light for greater things. Failure is a set-up for success.

There are many people that some considered to be failures. Read about Mr Walt Disney – he was a newspaper editor that was fired for having a lack of creativity. Today, Walt Disney’s company is in seven locations on four continents and employs more than 62,000 people with more than 44,000 visitors per day in their Lake Buena Vista (Florida) location alone.

Sir Winston Churchill’s successes came through several failures. His famous quote said: “Never give in – never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to conviction­s of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelmi­ng might of the enemy.”

In your time of struggle, you will find your best gifts coming out. You know your greatest friend. It brings the greatest creativity out of you. Speak positive things on a daily basis within your environmen­t. Surround yourself with positive people of faith. Your present circumstan­ces don’t determine your future.

The emotional battle is real, but if God did it for others, He will do it for you! If He brought you out before, He will do it again. Every great person came through failure and fire.

If you are experienci­ng a lack of success in your life, or if others are telling you that you are a failure or not creative enough, then that is your indication of the untapped greatness that is yet to come out of you. Keep going.
