Failure as a Stepping Stone
The Generous Wife
I’ve been reading The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday (I find a lot of interesting books at discount on BookBub).
Here’s an interesting quote that encouraged me.
When failure does come, ask: What went wrong here? What can be improved? What am I missing? This helps birth alternative ways of doing what needs to be done, ways that are often much better than what we started with. Failure puts you in corners you have to think your way out of. It is a source of breakthroughs.
Ryan Holiday
Honestly, failure is usually unpleasant, but it doesn’t have to be the last word (in life or in marriage). Use it as a stepping stone of knowledge and experience in the process of learning and getting better.
I’m encouraging y’all and myself this morning to take a breath and lighten up a bit when it comes to failure (or just not doing as well as you would have liked). Let failure spur you on to creativity and better ways of learning and doing.
Prayer Prompt: Ask God to help you face failure with calm courage and perhaps a bit of humor. :)(in)courage: Moving from the Chaos of Our Homes Toward a Peace-filled Life Stop trying to impress others.Dr. Corey Carlisle: The Practice of Life It’s okay if you don’t have everything figured out.
