Failing Forward

Are you aware that it takes a baby falling over 250 times to regulate balance before they can begin to take a step?

Have you ever been discouraged at where you are? Has your heart 'gone flat' because you're not where you thought you'd be by now? Have you considered just giving it all up because it's not going how you thought it should? Consider this...every attempt and every seeming fail is a stepping stone toward your future. I've heard some famous people say that every night at the dinner table their Dad would ask them to tell him of their daily failures. Not so he could judge them or criticize them, but so he could encourage them!

"Every failure is one step closer to success."

Let's hope this cake decorator learned this secret.

The experience doesn't make you a failure IF you learn from it and FAIL UP!

You're going to fail. If I'm the first one to tell you this, I'm sorry. It's not going to be easy to get back up. You may not even want to! But when you Fail Forward, you will find lessons that could not have been learned any other way.

And when you do achieve successes, the view will be beautiful. You will see the places God has carried you, held your hand and walked you through. The valleys, the mountaintops, the path with brambles and pot holes - all to teach you to gain balance and strengthen you.

Fail Forward, Friends!
