“Failure is not final unless you stop getting up.” -Christine Caine
When was the last time you failed? A time where you took a risk… and it didn’t work out.
You fell flat on your face. You drove it into straight the ground. It was your lack of planning that stifled the project. It was your fault the argument escalated.
The difference between people that make an impact in their sphere and the people who live void of purpose is their relationship to failure.
I have gone into spiraling depression because of the failures in my life. I have also felt crippling shame because of my failures. Have you?
Like it’s hard to show your face in the same meeting again?
You feel like your voice shouldn’t be as valued as it was before?
You feel like your failure is a dark cloud over your personhood?
Here is your encouragement today.
If you’ve felt any of those things, you are exactly on the right track.
Failure is unpleasant for everybody, but remember our quote today from the great Chris Caine.
“Failure is not final unless you stop getting up.”
What if every time you failed, instead of getting discouraged, you got excited? Like you know that you are one step closer to success! Like you’re one step closer to the mom you want to be, like your one step closer to the dreams in front of you.
Take a risk, fail, fail again, and keep. On. getting. up.
“The godly man may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.” Proverbs 24:16
