Amidst all this March Madness, the hustle and bustle of college hoops has overrun the nation.
Now time outs are crucial to these college teams. Whether to cool the opponents current fiery drive, give a break to the already weary players, or to regroup and focus the athletes' mentality.
The last part is what I feel failure is in our lives.
We all stumble in our journey. Making mistakes here and there. Regret prevalent in our minds.
However amidst that, failure allows us to zero in on what we just did wrong or messed up. Allowing us to focus our thoughts on how to not repeat the same mistake. We then set out with a new and vigilant vigor to succeed. Yet time after time we screw up again. This cyclical process repeating itself over and over again.
Doesn't it suck? You think that perhaps, "I've got it this time"; but unfortunately you just can't seem to do it.
Well next time you fail, stop and think. Take the timeout. You need it, to have failed means you are weary and need the rest. Then once you begin again, set out to not mess up as usual but be positive, know that you ARE capable.
Determination/ willpower are powerful tools. If you have even an ounce of them, it can take you a mile.
So I urge you to once again rethink your life and be brave and determined to be the best you can be, the child of the risen Lord you were made to be.
For through Him, you can achieve anything.
