Failure

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Failure should not hinder our success but instead, use it to achieve our goals.


Most of the time, if we fail, we easily give up. And most of us do not know that we learn from failure and not from success. Failure is part of every great man's achievement. Whatever they have achieved, they mostly owe it to what they learned from failing. So we don't have to feel bad everytime we fail. What we need to do is to look at the positive things that we gain from failing.

We may think that it is just one of God's ways of answering our prayer. He wants us to gain more things than we expect.

S - Silence. We need to silence to clearly understand what God is trying to tell us. Then God sends...

S - Sharing. A friend to whom you can open your problems to make someone feel accepted. When you try to open your problem to a friend yo will then have a clearer mind. And you can now understand what God tries to tell you. You then gain...

T - Trust. You will have trust in God once you open yourself to Him. Your faith will be stronger and you will be more confident that someone is there to help you. But, when dark times come...

Teka Muna (Stop for a while) - Stop and go back again to God. Always remember that when you are troubled, God is always there to help you. Say a little prayer and always think positively. Know that God's Grace is abundant, God is generous, God is merciful and God is there for you.
