Craig Groeshel posted the following thoughts recently. I felt his words were worth repeating.The fear of failure paralyzes too many people. I’ve found one of the best gifts God can give a leader is the gift of failure. Too many of us are not doing what we feel called to do because we’re afraid to fail.
As I observe the people around me, it seems the most effective have failed far more times than the least effective. The people making the biggest impact seem to:
1) Try something outlandish.
2) Fail.
3) Learn.
4) Adjust.
5) Try something that works better.
Failure is never final. It is often the first step to success.
If you haven’t failed in awhile, why don’t you try something crazy and see what happens.
