Don't Be Afraid To Fail

Proverbs 24:16 says, "The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again." If you have made a mistake or encountered a failure, don't stay down. Failure is often the back door to success.

Hi Jim, I have fallen and tripped, and stayed down in the Muck, somehow, I have crawled through, made my way back and gone on..
I have made some mistakes more than once... I'm hoping that I am learning from them and evolving as a better human being as a result.
I've had failed so many times, that now is

part of my every day lifebeer
Hi Jim,

Great uplifting blog and words. Perhaps it's coincidence, I logged in here this morning to find such a blog, and yet my next blog story is about this very situation of trying, failing, trying again and again.

Due to my work and time, I wont post my story til tonight or tomorrow.. but just thought I'd say, "Thank you" for posting this blog.

Again, I think it is uplifting, inspirational and from what I've read on some recent blogs, it may have come at a great time as a reminder to all.

Have a great day. handshake grin
Bung, I have failed many times but God is faithful and helped me each time thru my failures!



Robrd, Thank you! Yes, I will be interested in reading your blog!
Jim
It is my philosophy that is better to fail after trying than not trying at all. You learn more by your failures than your successes.

Cat, yes we do! When we wallow in our failures, we often miss opportunities!handshake
GJ!

I learned way later in life but it still applies.

Good one!!
The person who gets through life without making mistakes is a liar.

We all make them, learning from them and taking reponsibility for our own actions is how we grow.
Thanks Ed. As long as we learn from our mistakes!

Glatlol, I couldn't have said it better.thumbs up
Failure is my middle name Jim. But it is not in my failing that counts, it is in my strength and hope to stand again and again, if only to get beaten more by the challenges and cruelties of this short life..

I hope everything is great in your camp Jim.
LJ,

You are so right! When we fall, we must get up or give in!




LJ, Every thing in my camp is well. How about you?hug
Thanks Jim, not too bad, but even when its a little darj, I'm happy for every moment counts.

Take care Jim.
