"Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently." Henry Ford
"Is the glass half empty or is it half full?" That quote or question has helped me immensely! Failure should be feedback, a learning experience, if you would. There is hope for you if you have failed because "FAILURE IS NEVER FINAL!" SUCCESS IS NEVER ENDING!
What about you? Are you facing challenging situations in you family, finances, profession or employment? Ask yourself, "What's good about this situation that I am in?" Is the glass half empty or half full? It all depends on how you view failure. There is good news for you. When you look at this man called Joseph, one thing you learn is that all that was meant for evil against Joseph resulted in good. Joseph always saw the glass as half full! I really like what Henry Ford has said about failure being an opportunity. Ford was called the ignorant man who made a fortune, because he was uneducated by the world's standards, but he had the right mental attitude towards failure. You can develop the right mental attitude toward failure.
3 ATTITUDES TOWARD FAILURE - Affirm These Out Loud Now:
1. I never see failure as failure, but only as a learning experience.
2. I never see failure as failure, but only as an opportunity to develop my sense of humor.
3. I never see failure as failure, but only as feedback I need to change my course of direction.
Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good...Genesis 50:20 (The Message)
