Stand Up When You Fall

'For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief' (Proverb 24:16).

The fact that you failed is proof that you're not finished. Failure and mistakes can be a bridge, not a barricade to success. The psalmist writes, 'The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and him delighteth in his way. Though he may fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him in his hand. (Psalm 37:23-24) Successful people believe that mistakes are just feedback. If you have tried to do something and failed, you are vastly better off than if you had tried to do nothing. Theodore Roosevelt said, 'Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with that poor spirit who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the great twilight that knows not victory or defeat.

The death of your dream will not happen because of a failure; its death will come from indifference and apathy. 'You don't drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there' (Ed Cole). When you make a mistake, learn your lesson and forget about the details. 'A man who refuses to admit his mistake can never be successful. But if he confesses forsakes them, he gets another chance.' (Proverb 28:13).

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the Word you sent my way today. I thank you for not letting off your helping hands even when I didn't ask for it. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

To Overcome Defeat Is Possible

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me" (Philippians 4:13) This is a fact that you must never forget some people have overcome every conceivable difficult situation even the one in which you now find yourself and which to you seems utterly hopeless. So did it seem to some others, but they found an out, a way up, a path over, a pass through. I advise you not to take the attitude that you are in a situation in which nobody has ever been before. There is no such situation. Related Topic: Belief In Yourself   The first thing to do about an obstacle is simply to stand up to it and not complain about it. Don't go crawling through life on your hands and knees half-defeated. Stand up to your obstacle and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have. You can do this when you have faith, faith in God, and faith in yourself. Faith supplies staying power. It contains dynamics to keep one going when the going is h...

Break Away From Consumer Mentality

"And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities." (Luke 19:17).  If you keep consuming everything without producing anything, you will have nothing to fall back on. Immediate gratification creates poverty or lack in the future. Short-term thinking and living for today is the bane of many individuals but long-term thinking will help you to imbibe a producer mentality. An investment mentality is a way of thinking that supports thoughts and behaviors directed at achieving wealth. It compels you to automatically think about, recognize and take advantage of wealth-building opportunities. It also drives you to structure your lifestyles to preserve and continue to grow the wealth you have created.
