Try, Try Again

You’ll never fail if you don't stop trying. One of my favorite ministers of the Gospel, Joyce Meyer, said this on her broadcast the other day. Her words struck me and made me pause.

So often I have allowed failure to come into my life just because I gave up trying to succeed. I allowed a setback, fear, and my thoughts of what others could think to cause me to quit.

Yet it is those who are tenacious and persistent who reap the rewards of attaining their goals. The ones who dig their heels in and keep focused despite the surrounding atmosphere eventually win the prize.

You don’t have to look far to discover stories of successful men and women who had to overcome countless rejections, setbacks, and roadblocks in their journey to dream fulfillment. Many businessmen, athletes, celebrities, and ministers have had to deal with the pain of blocked progress.

However, these people chose to try again. They chose to ignore their past and even present discouragement. They instead picked themselves up and began again.

We all are on the road to success. We all have the potential to reach our goals and obtain the happy, purpose-filled lives that we envision. We just have to make the choice to continue to move forward. We can’t let our present situations dictate our end story.

Don’t give up! Keep working on that dream, keep trucking towards that goal! You haven’t failed yet! As long as you’re running towards the finish, you’re still in line for the prize.

Verse of the Day: And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:15
