When It Looks Like I Have Failed
Lord, are you trying to tell me something?
For...
- Failure does not mean I'm a failure; It does mean I have not yet succeeded.
- Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing; It does mean I have learned something.
- Failure does not mean I have been a fool; It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.
- Failure does not mean I've been disgraced; It does mean I dared to try.
- Failure does not mean I don't have it; It does mean I have to do something in a different way.
- Failure does not mean I am inferior; It does mean I am not perfect.
- Failure does not mean I've wasted my time; It does mean I have an excuse to start over.
- Failure does not mean I should give up; It does mean I must try harder.
- Failure does not mean I'll never make it; It does mean I need more patience.
- Failure does not mean you have abandoned me; It does mean you must have a better idea.
Be sure to visit Sheryl to see more faith lift fridays!

Annie, this was just wonderful! So many truths that all of us women need to be reminded of! Thank you! :o)
This is a great post for a Friday. After dealing with a week that may or may not have been successful, we need to refresh ourselves on the weekend, and reading this is a perfect way to do so!
Hey Annie,
I love the one that says "Failure does not mean I have been a fool; It does mean I had enough faith to experiment."
Wonderful!
Hope you have a nice weekend!

A lot to chew on here, Annie...and I don't think it could have been posted on a better day! Thanks!
LOVE this!!! Thank you! :)
When you look at it this way, why do we feel so rotten when we fail???
Good perspective!
That's good! Reminds me of something else I heard...
Failure (or set backs) can be like a slingshot, they might pull you back but it's so you can go further!
No one likes to fail, but it does make you stronger, and more aware of what direction you should be taking. Very thoughtful post.
