Stepping Stones to Victory


Don’t let a perceived failure stop you from reaching the next milestone. Make your failures become stepping stones. Victories happen one failure overcome at a time.

September’s Awakening, Day 3

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.

 —F. Scott Fitzgerald 

 

I haven’t failed, I’ve found 10,000 ways that don’t work.

 —Benjamin Franklin 

 

Show me a thoroughly satisfied man, and I will show you a failure.

 —Thomas A. Edison

 

Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed. For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored. 2 Corinthians 13:7–9 NIV 

 

            The game of life is not over till the last breath and beat of your heart. Until then, each perceived failure is simply one more step in determining what works and what doesn’t. Answers and solutions to the pressing problems of life never come easy. Miracles and breakthroughs will come, but one must never stop pursuing, for certainly then you will fail. Furthermore, the puzzle is ever-changing. What is high tech and the best solution today, may be totally archaic and antiquated in just a few years. So, it’s not just finding the answers, it’s a process of continually finding better answers. May each perceived failure propel you to the next milestone, and when you’ve reached that, may you press further on to the next better answer.
