We all feel like giving up sometimes
we all go through times where we feel like God is one million miles away
but we don't have any idea
what he's doing when we're tired
when we're weary
when we think we just can't go on
Most people are afraid to set great dreams
and set big goals because of the fear of failure
There's something much worse than failure.
It is the fear of failure.
I want to remind you that
failure is not final it's formative.
It is part of the process
it is part of the journey.
Your failure matters as much as your success
How do you think you're gona grow
if you don't ever fail
yet some of you have failed
and you have decided, well, guess what?
"I'm a failure."
No, failure is an event.
It is never a person.
I need you to make up in your mind
that the only way you can lose is if you quit,
and I just need you to keep going.
Firts,
you cannot give up
when you enter into your long season
you've got to give it all you've got
when people go into a season of struggle
the first thing that they want to do
is take a sabbatical
but whenever trouble comes
the only way that you can get through trouble
is work your way through it
Make a declaration to yourself,
declare all-out war
that you’re going to get out of this rut.
I suggest to you
that if you are facing a challenge,
don’t stop.
Stay busy. Work your plan.
Don't confuse movement
with progress
In order to achieve your goals,
you must apply discipline,
which you have already done.
And consistency everyday
You have to work at it.
Everyday you have to plan – everyday.
You’ve heard the saying that we don’t plan to fail,
we fail to plan.
Hard work works.
Working really hard is what successful people do.
And I can tell you from my own personal experience,
don't give up then.
Develop your own compass and trust it.
Take risks.
Dare to fail.
Remember, the first person through the wall
always gets hurt.
You're gonna fall down but the world doesn't care
how many times you fall down,
as long as it's one fewer
than the number of times you get back up.
If you wanna grow up,
you wanna be mature,
there is no way to do it without pain.
You can't grow up on easy street.
And the very thing that discourages you,
is the very thing that develops you.
