The only failure is not daring to do
great things. You are not a failure. Dream big. Desire the world. Put all hope
in Him. Victory is yours because Christ has already prepared the way for you.

Awakening, Day 2
It is not the critic who counts; not
the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds
could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in
the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives
valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no
effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the
deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself
in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who
know neither victory nor defeat.
—Theodore Roosevelt
The probability that we may fail in
the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be
just.
—Abraham Lincoln
for
though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble
when calamity strikes. Proverbs 24:16 NIV
My
flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion
forever. Psalm 73:26 NIV
Failure is not attempting to do more
than you’ve done before. Failure is not trying at all. Failure is quitting when
the going gets tough, when victory is just around the corner. Failure is succumbing
to the pressures of the world and abandoning your dreams, hopes, and desires.
You are not a failure. You are a
unique, loved, and essential tool in the hands of the Master who’s encouraging
you to take the next step and beckoning you onward. Success and victory are
yours because He has already prepared the way for you. You just need to walk
down His path— when you fall, get back up again, when obstacles come, hurdling
or redirection may be necessary. Just don’t stop and don’t stand still. Move
ever forward with Him to success and victory.
